Hello!
On top of the insights already shared in the post, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)
It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

Basic motivation starts with extrinsic and most of the time monetary things, that last only a while. If you really want to motivate people, try to activate their intrinsic motivation. Help them to personally develop and to take part at their development by themself. Give them responsibility and convince them, that their work really matters and makes a difference.

most people believe that external factors like money motivate others, while knowing that intrinsic factors like happiness and satisfaction are their main motivators. i think the main lesson here is that we are all human, and what motivates us at the core is likely what motivates most others. motivating people comes down to satisfying emotional needs. people want to feel valued, impactful, and that they're growing into a better person than they were even yesterday. providing people with the guidance they need but with a healthly dose of autonomy, challenge, and constructive/actionable feedback is one of the best ways to motivate people (as long as they make a living wage)

First thing about motivating people is to understand what motivates them. For some people it is money, for some people it is learning, for some people it is work culture. Find the right mix of things first and using the right approaches , people can be motivated to be their best

Hi A,
That is really a good question. I would say, people are mostly motivated by satisfying their basic needs and desires, also by by being valued and respected and having an opportunity to prove themselves in achieving goals. The key point here, I guess, is that people are mostly led by their emotions and basic needs, not by obvious superficial standars of comfortable life.
Best,
Andre
