Enhance your elearning efforts with gamification and the new Docebo Rewards Marketplace. In the hit film “Office Space” the protagonist, Peter, says his only motivation to work is the fear of losing his job. That fear “will only make somebody work just hard enough to not get fired,” he says, asking simply, “Where’s the motivation?” It’s sad to say, but this fact is probably true for countless employees at many organizations.

[This post first appeared on the Learning to be Great Blog.]. Given the disruptive age in which we live, companies need “strategic leaders”. However, there is a shortage. A study by PwC found that only eight percent of senior executives can be considered strategic leaders, defined as “effective at leading transformations.” To attract, develop, and retain more strategic leaders, organizations need to find employees who already have that potential and help them develop the capability.

I get asked to view a lot of things. And sometimes, particularly when there’s a potential tangible relationship, I will actually go visit sites. (BTW, I tend to avoid what comes unsolicited, and instead trust to what comes through my social network.) And one of my strategies often fails, and that, to me, is a warning sign. When I go to sites (not from familiar companies, but new ones), one of the places I’m very likely to visit is the ‘About Us’ page or equivalent.

We, as humans, tend to romanticize the past. We fill it with our greatest heroes and most formidable villains. The past is where dragons, pirates, and Old West cowboys take place. While many of the stories we tell about the past are true, some are severe exaggerations or even outright falsehoods. In all actuality, the past was probably quite similar to now, but scaled back as far as technology, health, and general quality-of-life are concerned.

Maybe it was the painkillers talking, but more likely it is proof positive that gamification is compelling, addicting, and motivating for any gender and age.
