What inspires/motivates you?
What does it take to work in the motivated (inspired) state?
- How does it matter how motivated one is?
When
people work in a motivated state, there are forty percent fewer sick days,
fewer health insurance claims. An employee will give more if inspired by
someone. (Less Mondayitis)
- Whose job is it to keep me motivated?
As a
leader, it is my job to keep me motivated. No one else can plug in my cord.
Take responsibility for my motivation and don’t blame anyone else. Surround yourself
with inspiring/motivated people. What type of materials are you reading or
reviewing? Make sure players on your team are inspiring people. YOU ARE EITHER
MOTIVATING OR DE-MOTIVATING – which one will you choose to be?
- Best way to inspire people around you is the live a motivated/inspired life in front of people.
- What would work look like if people were inspired?
- Participate in exceptionally inspiring events.
- Pay attention to physical disciplines (taking care of self).
- Pay attention to work environment because this can either add to
the motivation or take away from the motivation.
- Have an inspiring hobby or recreation.
- Practice daily spiritual disciplines.
Inspiration is contagious.
Learn inspiration language of
members on your team. What inspires them? Is it:
-
Public praise?
-
Gifts
(recognition)?
o
I do
________________ [ice cream truck, employee Olympics, derby day, mani/pedi] but
people want ______________ [name anything different]. (Not everyone will like
what you do to show people appreciation because people have different
inspiration language.)
-
Remind someone
how thankful you are for the good job she is doing.
-
Reduce and
identify every de-motivating factor.
-
Celebrate every
sign of progress with your long term goals.
Acts 2:42 – Everyone was inspired
or motivated and filled with a sense of awe.
