If you’re one of those hard-galloping, high-voltage bosses who’s never had trouble launching out of bed in the morning or finding clever ways to motivate people, I’d like to make the following prediction about you.
This pandemic has been humbling.
Several business leaders have privately confessed to me that lately, their mojo tanks are running dangerously low. In some cases, they’re wondering if they have enough drive and ambition to continue leading at all.
Before we talk about fixing this, let’s make one thing perfectly clear. If you’ve got the Zoom-bunker blahs, don’t beat yourself up. There’s nothing wrong with you.
Many people believe that motivation is a product of their own superior mental strength and discipline. But that’s a myth. Motivation is just another primal emotion people feel when chemical reactions in their brains produce dopamine. Our behavior can make these reactions more likely, but we can’t force them.
