Raines’ Kristin Mann quoted on Motivation in the C-suite

Raines’ Kristin Mann was quoted recently in the Society for Human Resources Management’s article on motivation in the C-Suite. Kristin, Senior Vice President in Raines’ Advisory, Leadership & Org Consulting Practice, said in part:

“In my work on executive motivation, I see a variety of primary on-the-job motivators for CEOs and C-level execs. While there are many individual motivators to consider, the C-level executives I work with most frequently point to one thing—the ability to have a noteworthy impact.”

“Other top motivators include recognition and power…Some executives pause when they hear the word ‘power.’ But this isn’t a negative thing—it’s the power to control resources to have that impact or the power to support team members as they achieve their goals.”
