Helping people change: the magic of motivation.
The consensus of the data and of the interviewed doctors was that the five most profound motivators of people in the workplace today are as follows: (1) Achievement of work well done; (2) Personal pride and satisfaction in being a part of quality treatment and excellent care of patients; (3) Continuing education; (4) Equitable compensation; (5) Respect, responsibility, and appreciation. When asked how important motivation is to the productivity of her practice, Dr. Stelly closes by saying, "Motivation is the most critical factor in productivity. Motivation is the key. If everyone is on the same page and if the doctor and key team members can continue to motivate and encourage others, then the sky is the limit. The key is to keep everyone goal-oriented, unified, and excited about the possibilities. Then you are going to have a team of consistent, long-term employees, you don't have turnover and with that kind of consistency, you are going to have increased productivity."
