Why do your people come to work? Not what you hope the answer is; the real answer. The motive that actually drives them every day.

In this episode, Seth Winterhalter introduces Primed to Perform by Neel Doshi and Lindsay McGregor, this week's book inside the MLDC, and unpacks why local government leaders need to pay attention to the science of motivation if they want to build cultures that actually perform.

Doshi and McGregor identify six motives that drive every employee. Three of them build performance. Three of them destroy it. And the environments local government leaders operate in — public scrutiny, civil service systems, constrained compensation — naturally generate the wrong three.
