You don't. Keeping a team motivated means leadership, if you don't have it, you aren't likely to have motivation. You might motivate the team but it will likely be to leave. If you are lucky they'll leave for other positions in the firm, otherwise they will go elsewhere. Also, they will likely tell people about their experience and having a bad reputation means that good candidates will stay away.

You might have emergent leaders, i.e. leaders from the field but without the support of higher level leadership when they run into trouble they'll be forced out. If they do achieve something they'll leverage those accomplishments to leave for another role or company.

I set up Sales Ops for companies and for sales teams I produce reports of sales team members' activity and performance, and having teams see their peer productivity and vice versa can be very motivating.

We are a large manufacturing company with over 17,000 associates, about half of whom have company-provided cell phones. We average two lost devices per week, which seems low, but executive management is concerned and wants to know if our numbers are typical compared to other companies. My questions are: 1. Do other companies also struggle with lost or stolen devices? 2. What is the average number of lost devices per week? 3. Are there repercussions for associates who lose devices due to carelessness or negligence?

With Meta retiring Workplace next year, what alternatives are you using or considering for an internal social media platform? We also use the marketplace feature of Workplace for employees to sell to coworkers. Is anyone aware of an alternative internal marketplace within a Workplace replacement or as a separate product?
