#191: Are Your People Clock-Watching? Try These Ideas.

<p>When I notice team members watching the clock waiting for the time when they can go home, I know it’s a problem.</p> <p>It’s not that I want people to be working longer and harder than they need to. </p> <p>But ideally, we want people to enjoy what they do and feel motivated to achieve it, to the point that they feel accountable and take more ownership.</p> <p>This might mean working longer to finish something important one day, and leaving earlier the next. After all, it should be about outcomes, not hours.</p> <p>In this episode, I look at some of the common reasons for clock watching, and some ideas to help you solve it.</p> <h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize= "22" data-lineheight="33px">Like the Show?
