Summary
Today we're talking all about raises, salaries and bonuses, and Jilly's back to help me answer a listener question around these topics. There are lots of different ways to compensate an individual, but as you'll hear, it's not always about money for him or her. As digital CEOs, it's our responsibility to figure out what each team member is looking for, and then to help foster the greatness within each of them!
