Competence as a motivational driver - Deepstash

Competence as a motivational driver

Competence refers to our desire for control and mastery. Competence is about our natural desire to feel like we are learning and making progress towards a set of objectives.

Creating a sense of competence has more to do with what you don't do. Instead of only focusing on constructive feedback, ensure you also celebrate wins, big and small. When you do give constructive feedback, pair it with positive feedback and praise to remind them of the progress already made.
