In this episode, Tiz, Dave and Derek talk about the real work of helping employees understand the value creation system and wanting to contribute to it. #### Concepts - [[Motivating Employees]] - [[Intrinsic Motivation]] - [[Value Chain]] - [[Value Creation System]] - [[The Individual and The Group]] #### Quotes >You try to engage and get the people in the system to want to bring their best... That works only if they understand the system, and they know their place in the system, and they know how what they're doing is going to contribute and add the value. >The highest motivators or the biggest contributors are always the people I'm working with, the quality of the team I'm with, and the buy-in or the belief in what we're trying to do... >The value creation system is where we take the raw materials that enter the organization... and then you do the process steps that add value to the point where it's of value to the customer. >It's not just creating and understanding the system at a leadership level, it's then allowing that to filter through the organization so that each person contributing to it sees and understands that as well. >As part of the value creation system, having a clear awareness of your people and culture, and a deep enough understanding to be able to narrow that gap in the [[dynamic forces]] of individual needs and journeys and the group's need and journeys. I think when you've got clarity on your value creation system, and your finger is on the pulse with respect to the narrowing of that gap, you're are a well greased machine. >If you don't understand your value creation system and what limits your output, you don't know what to put on the dashboard. #### See also - [[Episode 89 Individual Incentives - Business Traditions That Have to Stop Now Part 3]]
