This is exacerbated\u00a0by the fact that the product that we make already exists, and there is a vast amount of competition with their respective benefits. This is once again added upon the fact that there is no centralized office where people meet daily, and therefore people work on their own with meetings around the city. So how can you motivate people to do their job, and do it well?<\/p>\n<p>This is all done through excellent leadership. Specifically, the leadership that needs to be done is highly effective innovative leadership. Innovative leadership\u00a0is where you take a pre-existing idea or product and bring new attention to it and puts a new spin on it. This style of leadership\u00a0has been highly apparent as of recently, with our company going into funding rounds and needing a boost in every sector of the company. The way the leadership\u00a0of our company does this is to make us look at our product as something a lot more than just a ticketing app, but a platform that enables people to bring people together and host events that would have been previously impossible. In addition, they highlight the fact that artists and venues alike are being scammed out of the money they deserve from companies like Eventbrite and Ticketmaster. So not only are we enablers, but we are also giving back to artists by allowing them to take a larger percentage of the money home to themselves, and for the general public by reducing their ticket prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motivation is quite a difficult hurdle to jump over in a new company such as this where there is little<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3946,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[76611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-theories-in-action"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3946"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
