How does your organization measure productivity? Whatever your measure is, odds are that it has something to do with how much effort and energy your people are willing to put in the job. In these difficult economic circumstances in which all organizations are called to survive – especially in Greece -, it is getting harder and harder to work with high levels of energy and passion; not to mention going the extra mile.

After reading this article, you will be able to answer these questions and gain an in-depth understanding of the way that you, as a leader, can motivate your people to perform to higher levels and go the extra mile.
