AI Can Replace Coordination. It Can’t Make People Feel Motivated.

In this episode, Josh and Jason Lauritsen explore why the manager relationship isn't actually what keeps people motivated at work. Jason is CEO of Connected Performance Group, and he just finished a study of 1,500 organizations and almost 300,000 employees on what actually drives connection at work. They get into why connection to a company's purpose beat manager connection and peer connection as the strongest predictor of motivation, even though almost every leader assumes the manager relationship is the whole game. They break down the two things that actually build a strong manager relationship, genuine listening and letting someone tell you the truth without fear, and why neither one can be automated. And they get into the AI question everyone in HR is asking right now. If a bot can do what your manager does, was your manager ever doing the real job.
