- 2 Do employees clearly understand why their work matters or only what they must do?
- 3 Are our leaders creating ownership or controlling every decision?
- 4 What behaviors do our incentive systems actually reward?
- 5 When motivation drops, do we question employees or the system around them?
- 6 Is exhaustion being mistaken for lack of motivation?
