No matter how long your tenure as a team leader, you've probably seen it.
Motivation can fade.
Individual employees who seemed so full of life and so full obsessed for the job eventually settle into rhythms and patterns and might even burn out. Teams that were formed with an inspiring mission eventually fall into those regular old habits of teamwork and can become demotivated and disengaged. 
In this episode, we're going examine four specific reasons why motivation doesn't last, and what you can do to turn it around, and it's all based on decades of social science and organizational psychology research, some of which has gotten some attention in the professional world, and a lot of which is overlooked.

Don't Believe They Can
Don't Believe It Works
Don't Believe They're Progressing
Don't Believe It Matter
