Roughly 24 hours past Thanksgiving. Do we remember anything from yesterday? What or who we’re thankful for? More importantly, what or who we’re thankful to?
Appreciation and respect for the world around you, your band, your team, your business go a long way.
In fact, in most studies that have been done, money ranks at about 5 or 6 for what people value most in what they want in a job.
So maybe you’re short on cash. Maybe you’re currently a small operation and can’t yet compensate your people the way you (and they) wish you could.
Don’t worry, all the other things on the list for what people want most in a company/business/team/BAND are absolutely free to start working on.
1. Recognition for good work
2. A positive environment
3. Work that has greater purpose than the work itself
4. Responsibility
5. Accountability for responsibilities
6. Adequate compensation
I have this strange feeling that if you focus on the first five long enough, number six will become a reality sooner than later.
