DESCRIPTION
On October 7, in the format of Fresh-Up meetings, Galina Kostetskaya, Engineering Manager at Innovecs, told us about Motivation and Company Philosophy. We’ve discussed such questions as “Why do we get in the morning and go to the office” and spoke about different kinds of motivation. * Fresh-Up Breakfasts is the part of the Innovecs Educational Project that actively develop internal trainings field and experience exchange program. The concept of these morning meetings proposes to discuss a number of important non-technical topics such as how to communicate with clients effectively, how to prepare for the presentation, to talk about the peculiarities of cross-cultural differences and about many other things. These meetings are supposed to be run in an "easy" informal way in a discussion format, conducted by the moderator of the meeting.

Anatomy of fun

• Fun can and should be designed. It does not just “happen”! It is not just somewhere outside in the world. !
• Fun can be challenging – it is not always just easy! We tend to ignore then when we think about fun, but we should not forget that when we are designing our systems.!
• We should appeal to different kinds of fun.
Over-justification effect
The substitution effect of the reward – when it replaces the intrinsic motivation by the less effective extrinsic motivation.

Over-justification effect
• Material tend to create the most demotivating effect!• Unexpected rewards – the person was already doing the
task guided with the intrinsic motivation and can be rather surprised by getting some unexpected reward for good performance!
• Rewards based on achievement!

Intrinsic motivation

• Autonomy: Person is making the choices by himself, he is in the control. “It is not someone from he outside telling me to do that thing, it is my own choice.”!!
• Competence: person’s sense of ability. It is about solving problems, overcoming obstacles, achieving something.!!
• Relatedness: Your activity is connected to something beyond yourself.

Intrinsic motivation for PMs• Learning: The pursuit of knowledge can be a strong
intrinsic motivation for an employee.!• Challenges!• Satisfaction: It can be reached through a good
feedback – clear and fast.!• “Well done”: It is usually so hard to tell “You are
amazing guys, well done!” for them. Do not forget doing that.!
• Responsibility: Delegate more, trust your team.!• Team spirit, doing valuable things: Team members
should feel being a part of the one group, been unique.

Bad patterns

My boss is an idiot

Many managers think that their subordinates are idiots too.!!“If I loose the control no one will work!!!”!!!!!!!!When employees feel that you don’t trust them and try to control their steps – they start behave like you expect.

Am I working badly? Do they just need me to sit 8 hours in the office? Is it more important that the result?
Trust

Even more. They are thinking all the time. !!They see what you are hiding. If you are not talking to them – they can create a conspiracy theory, that can scare any FBI agent, while having their afternoon tea at the kitchen.
Unfortunately, IT guys are smart
