This is The Craig Rochelle Leadership Podcast.

Well, it's great to have you back for another episode of The Craig Rochelle Leadership Podcast.

Today, we are going to look at part two of an idea called institutionalizing urgency.

If you haven't listened to last month, I'd recommend that you listen to that one first,

because we're building on some ideas from last month and talking about an idea that I really believe is important for every organization.

I want to say a very sincere thank you to those of you who are helping get the word out on social media.

I love seeing quotes and many of you are posting the link and trying to expose others to the podcast.

And I want to tell you thank you for this.

Leadership at live.church. And then at the end of the teaching today, what I'm going to do is offer some questions for you.

I think that just hearing content is one thing, but actually drilling down and finding application of how we can put it to use is so much better.

So I'll answer a couple of questions that came in last month and then we'll dive into some teaching and then I'll put some questions back for you or your team to wrestle with.

Manuel wrote in and asked this question. Manuel asked, how do you overcome problems where there are employees who don't seem to care due to a lack of interest or motivation.

Manuel, we actually had a lot of people ask similar questions. What do you do with an unmotivated team member? How do you motivate people in such?

And I want to start by kind of redefining our mindset about people.

And we have to recognize that everyone is actually motivated. People may not be motivated to do the things that we want them to be motivated to do, but everyone is motivated and everyone cares about something.

They may be motivated to do nothing, but they're motivated. People care and there's always there's always a motive behind their actions or in actions.

They might be motivated to let you do their job for them, but they are motivated. And so if we start with understanding that they are motivated and they do care about something, that will help us tap into the things that will drive them to do the right things.
