How To Frame Incentives To Drive The Desired Behavior | James Castello
If you want to incentivize an outcome, don’t just focus on the final reward, hone in on the behavior that will drive the result. Whether we’re motivating our employees, our kids or ourselves, we can all benefit from learning how to effectively drive behavior.

So if you don't get the behaviors right, that's where incentives go off the rail. ~ James Castello, Episode 344 Share on XOur guest on this episode is James Castello, Vice President of Field Operations and Incentive Compensation Practices at TGaS Advisors.
