About this listen
This episode addresses the paradigm shift in how organizations perceive and manage employee motivation. It explores how modern organizations must move beyond the outdated “carrot and stick” approach, which, according to Gallup, often results in disengaged or even actively disengaged employees.
The episode builds on McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y and connects these ideas to contemporary perspectives on organizational performance. It discusses how designing a management environment grounded in autonomy, manageability, and a higher purpose can foster a culture of trust, respect, and shared values—ultimately leading to engaged and innovative employees. Examples are provided to illustrate how traditional reward systems can create dysfunctional behaviors, along with alternatives that promote intrinsic motivation and sustainable high performance.
