Episode Description
In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with world-renowned motivation expert Susan Fowler to discuss the second edition of her groundbreaking book, Why Motivating People Doesn't Work...and What Does. Susan reveals a revolutionary truth: stop trying to motivate people. By shifting the focus from "carrots and sticks" to the science of psychological needs, she provides a blueprint to end "quiet quitting" and spark sustainable vitality in any organization.

- The Six Motivational Outlooks: How to identify where you and your team sit on the spectrum, from "Disinterested" to "Inherent."
- Leading Post-Pandemic: How to adapt leadership styles for the hybrid work era by focusing on rationale and agency rather than mandates.
