Course overview
Managers shape a team's sense of purpose more than any policy change, primarily through the way they assign tasks, share feedback, and model trust. Understanding the three core drivers: purpose, autonomy, and alignment, helps a manager recognize why an employee has quietly disengaged and what to adjust first. Making adjustments in how meetings run, credit gets shared, and mistakes get handled build a team culture where people bring their full effort to the work.
