Spartanize Your Business part 6- Dedication and Loyalty to the Business
Spartans were absolutely dedicated to the Spartan Nation. THe only way they could get a headstone on their graves was for the men to die in battle. The women could only get it by dying in childbirth.
You want to foster this kind of loyalty and dedication to the cause of your business.
There are a few ways to do this.
People are crying out for leadership in business and in life. So be their leader. It’s your business, noone cares more about it than you. When you give them a strong leader to follow and a mission they can believe in they’ll galvanize behind you and your mission.
They’ll work far harder on a product and process they believe in than they ever would just “working a job”.
Recognition is a key tool in your business “war chest”. WHen you have an employee who does an exceptional job on a project recognize them publicly. It’s been said “men will go through more hell for recognition and status than money alone”.
This also saves you big bucks since you have a psychological tool in your belt and not just the money reward to entice better work out of your people.
People love rewards and will go to great lengths to get them. The Spartans knew this, you need to use it to improve your business.
This is the final piece in the “Spartanize Your Business” for success series.
