Everyone wants to inspire people - it's an ambition, a badge of honour, but is it that easy? Hosts James Lawther and Jimmy Barber talk about their experience of how they've been inspired by their managers (rarely) or demotivated by them (often), and their experience of trying to inspire others (ditto). Despite this, they identify some things anyone can do to inspire others—as ever, James reverts to system-related changes, while Jimmy focuses on the people side. But there are some things they agree on that could have a significant impact.Plus, you can hear about the Nottingham tradition for Cock on a Stick at the Goose Fair, a hotel recommendation for your next holiday and where the podcast features in a global list of the best podcasts for Managers.Check out this week's episode for insights and tips on how you can improve your performance and enjoyment of work.Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us: Amazon.co.uk: Pink, Daniel H.: 9781847677693: BooksExperience lovely Santorini | Radisson Blu Zaffron Resort, SantoriniBest 100 Podcasts for Managers https://www.millionpodcasts.com/managers-podcasts/Got a question - get in touch.
