Talk Title: Compensation Matters…But Less Than You Think
Context: I was originally scheduled to deliver a talk with the same title to the same group of local business leaders on 4/1/2020. Yeah, two weeks after we got rocked with COVID-19. Needless to say, that talk got cancelled and I wondered if I’d ever have the chance to speak to the audience again. In this talk, I was hoping to explain why I believed something would eventually happen in our culture to shift the way people work. People would soon shift where, when, and why they worked….and no amount of compensation would drive loyalty and satisfaction. By “eventually”, I didn’t realize it was already upon us and we’d quickly see this new reality form in front of our eyes. Instead of compensation, we as leaders need to lean into culture and tap into people’s deeper drivers in order to create and sustain a winning team. It was an awesome event and I couldn’t have enjoyed it more. You can check out a clip below.
