Manage episode 520085572 series 3583831
Your top performer didn’t get the raise. Your high-potential hire is still waiting on that promotion. It seems like all of the incentives you have at your disposal are gone- so what do you do?
In this episode of The New Manager Playbook podcast, I share how to lead and motivate your team when traditional rewards aren’t available. We first talk about the importance of incentives and why even in a tough job market "you're lucky to have a job" doesn't work, and what to say when your team is feeling undervalued.
You'll learn how to:
- Recognize early warning signs of disengagement
- Offer growth and development without spending a dime
- Make your team feel seen, valued, and invested in, even in lean times
Whether you're a business owner, a startup leader, or managing inside a big company, these strategies will help you keep your team engaged and your culture strong, even when resources are tight.
Looking for support for yourself of your team? I've got you covered.
