Inner Tension: Day 4

Understanding Motivational Differences in High-Performing Teams In day four of the Integrated Leader Podcast series 'Tension on Purpose Leading with Power and Heart,' host Lauren Marie explores the nuanced differences in motivation among team members who appear similar on the surface. She emphasizes that similar DISC profiles don't mean identical motivations, which can lead to friction and misunderstandings. Lauren offers practical exercises for leaders to uncover and align underlying motivations to foster empathy, reduce conflicts, and create lasting partnerships.
