Nobody gets up in the morning to demotivate their team, yet three very ordinary habits are enough to do it.
We reach for bonuses, seminars, and speeches to restore momentum, but what if the real answer lies elsewhere? Checking each person’s login times, redoing work you had delegated, deciding without consulting anyone: these habits drain a team’s energy faster than any speech can refill it. This module teaches you to spot them in yourself and to replace them.
