Unmotivated employees have rightly been called “the black holes of the business universe.” Fortunately, motivation is not something a person is born with or without. Applying these Ten Commandments can go a long way to helping existing employees find their motivation.
1. Commit with all thy heart so others might follow
Before you ask your employees to commit, you must be fully committed yourself. Throw your heart over the bar, make that complete commitment, and others will follow.
2. Call it tight on dysfunctional behaviors
Declare a zero-tolerance policy for dysfunctional behaviors. People saying one thing and meaning another, giving lip service, gossiping, backstabbing… Enlist a company-wide commitment to stop every one of these.

Project Governance and Management – Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right…
A project’s size often dictates the necessary level of governance and management applied to the initiative. This governance and management typically includes items such as:
required authorizations
level of planning detail
frequency and breadth of communications
Subsequently, accurate estimation of a project’s size during project initiation is essential. But what characteristics should be considered in the project’s size determination and how should the project size criteria for each of these characteristics be identified?
The StrategyDriven Project Size Determination whitepaper provides business leaders with a five step process for establishing project size determination criteria used to establish the amount of project governance and management to apply; ensuring initiatives are well, not over or under managed. These steps are detailed with supporting principles and philosophies; helping users understand the reasoning behind each action.
