Self


Despite all the models, methodologies, and complexities to leadership, it can still be simple. 
Your team is punishment averse and reward motivated. 
The highly complicated world of the human psyche operates on some basic foundations. 


People are hyper-aware of themselves. 
They constantly think about how they feel, what they think, and what others might think and feel about them. 
When it comes to punishment or reward, the implication towards self will always be a significant factor. 


As a leader, your ability to address and clarify “what is the impact for me,” is essential. 
It is about more than sharing the “why;” it is about connecting what something specifically means for someone. 
If you are trying to create change in your team, the context they need is to understand how their innate self-focus is impacted.
