Instead, as leaders we can "move fast & fix things", using a radical approach that moves fast, builds trust & accelerates excellence: qaspire.com/move-fast-and-fi… Blog & sketch by @tnvora, based on the new book by @FrancesFrei & @annemorriss.

Motivation is an inside job. Research shows that as leaders, we cannot motivate people. They can only motivate themselves & we should stop trying.
