Knowing the purpose of activities can greatly promote the intrinsic motivation of your team members.
👉 When talking to your team members, you can communicate the meaning behind their activities and their contribution to the team and company goals.
👉 This can greatly promote their intrinsic motivation, as the story of the three medieval stonemasons teaches us.
According to that story, when asked about their job,
🔸️ the first answered in a bad mood that he was “just knocking stones”.
🔸️ The second replied boredly that he was “just building a wall.”
🔸️ The third sang happily as he worked and replied that he was „building a cathedral.“
He probably knew the purpose of his work.
