How Founders Should Handle Lawyers
December 11, 2025
When you’re completing important transactions or documents, you’ll often have lawyers involved.
Today, we’re talking about what really motivates people at work. Although it’s natural to assume compensation is the driver of motivation, the science tells us otherwise.
Here are the 3 things that actually motivate people:
Do people have control over their work, do they feel empowered to pursue their ideas along with a little freedom to make mistakes and take smart risks?
Are people improving? Are the challenges they face novel and do they improve their skill set?
Does the company acknowledge their contributions? Although this absolutely includes compensation, it also extends to other areas like internal praise and promotions.
Best of luck out there.
