Increase Motivation

This is great! I’ll be taking a print-out to my Project Management meeting this afternoon. Thanks.

You have been tagged for The Personal Development List. (See my site for details), I would love to have you participate.

Great list, John!

I think your #10 is particuarly valuable. I was just reading (literally, like 20 minutes ago) something that said more people leave their jobs because they feel unappreciated than because they want more money/benefits.

Unfortunately, where I work, management constantly shoots down our attempts to get an employee recognition program going. They’re standard response: “We value EVERY member of our organization. To single out one employee’s (or team’s) efforts will make everyone else feel slighted!” So every other year they do a company-wide recognition event where EVERYONE is “recognized” (which means, in reality, that NO ONE is recognized). Morale here is quite low, by the way.

I’d like to add one more tactic to your excellent list:

22. LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Don’t just tell people how to fulfill the company’s mission, vision & goals … SHOW them.

I believe most other tactics are doomed to failure if managers don’t act as they demand their employees to act (i.e., expect employees to meet deadlines yet be constantly late with their own work). (Failure to “walk the walk” is another reason morale here is low.)

Sorry to vent a bit, John… but this list really hit home for me. Thanks so much for the stimulation!

Success From the Nest has a great post ((http://successfromthenest.com/content/eternal-playlist-of-the-successful-mind/#more-214) about reconnecting with our enthusiasm by using some NLP (neurolinguistic programming) techniques to relive past successes. I’m a certified practitioner of NLP, and Tony’s post is the most down-to-earth and powerful description of some of those techniques I have ever read.

I tend to be inner-directed, so when I need motivation I reconnect with the love of doing the job and the joy of being on the path to success. I’m a firm believer in Earnie Larson’s statement: “There are few things more wonderful than knowing where you want to go and being on the path to getting there.”

I somewhat disagree with #17. Though common sense tells us that the only way we’re going to improve is by constantly challenging ourselves (which is great for personal goal setting), you sometimes run the risk of setting unrealistic expectations that can result in a decrease in morale due to failure or long hours. Additionally, it may not be wise to set one person’s performance as the bar for another as they may have very different skill-sets. You have to thoroughly evaluate the feasibility of those goals and be prepared to accept the possibility that you made an error when those goals are not achieved.

All of the other tips are great, thanks for your clear and concise thoughts!

I agree with Jon. People are happiest and most productive when they’re challenged just the right amount (see http://stresstopower.com/Optimizing%20Stress.html ), but if someone else is constantly raising the bar for them it will be oppressive. Don’t forget items 6 and 11.

What is a Call Center’s secret to motivation?

If the agents value success, integrity, customer service, a personal work ethic, excellence and innovation, then we help the associate align those values with the organization’s objectives. We help in creating personal long-term goals such as becoming a top producer or a more short-term goal like mastering the calling script. We reinforce their emotional state of confidence, keeping them focused on the basics, guidelines and adherence to hit for a higher standard. Rewards are common for agents with positive customer feedback so that they consider the call center a career opportunity, not a dead end job.

Money will always motivate employees. In Costa Rica, call center jobs are high-paying, highly sought-after jobs in comparison to other vocations. Most of the telemarketing jobs leaving the United States are for positions and salaries many North Americans snub. A call center agent will make a consistent, effective contribution to the campaign’s success in order to insure that their paycheck continues.

Very good and solid list, thank you, I resonate with each item. The only issue is the page titled as “Increase Self Motivation” and the content is for motivating others it’s a bit misleading..

its useful

Very Good post and the pointers are invaluable. I like #16 most cos’ I believe that with constructive criticism, one can grow by leaps & bounds.

All the best.

I like the points about kindness. As a therapist I see people who say that they are touched if there boss notices they are having a hard day. This creates loyalty.
Communication is also important:

[...] This concept applies to people as well, because we all have our own level of maximum sustainable output, whether we’re aware of it or not. Let’s say you have a big project you’re working on, and you just have to finish it on time at any cost. You can certainly put forth a tremendous effort and send your productivity through the roof. You can put other things on hold, drink lots of caffeine, and burn the candle at both ends, achieving far more than you normally would. But what goes up must come down. After you burn out and come crashing down, you’ll have to pay the price with a period of reduced productivity. Maybe you’ll need to take some time off to recover, or maybe you’ll be less motivated to work efficiently, or maybe you’ll be scared off from attempting a project of that magnitude for a long while. Unfortunately, you pay more during your crash than you gained during your productive period. The ideal solution If your productivity engine is too hot, you’ll eventually crash and burn. If it’s too cold, you’re doing less than you’re capable of, and leaving output on the table. The way you stay the most productive in the long run is by consistently working at your maximum sustainable output, that magical “just right” level in between “too hot” and “too cold.” Make sure you don’t bite off more than you can chew, since you’ll have to pay for it later. At the same time, you don’t want to take on too little, or you’re letting your capabilities go to waste. If you have control over your work, be sure to keep your workload steady. If someone else determines your workload, be honest with them about how much you can handle. After all, if Goldilocks knew the difference between “too hot” and “too cold,” we should too.

[...] Simply beginning a new hobby can open you up to a brand new world waiting to be discovered. Wine tasting, skiing, golf, painting…the possibilities are endless. You’ll learn the intricacies of a new craft and meet new people. And these people might be very different from you, giving you more opportunities to learn new things. Read books You probably have a library very close to home that’s paid for with your tax dollars. If you just go there and read one book, you’ll be ahead of 42% of all college graduates. If you prefer to read the latest books and have a little money, there’s no shortage of bookstores, not to mention Amazon. Reading is a cheap form of entertainment with practically no risk of injury, and it boosts your brain power a lot more than watching TV. Read the newspaper While I’m not a fan of being inundated with the excessively negative news that everyone seems to think is so important, you might consider some other parts of the newspaper (in print or online). Beyond the stories about who was murdered last night or how the economy is destroying your standard of living, there’s this often overlooked part called the Arts section. Here you can read insightful articles on a wide variety of topics that you might not know much about. Best of all, you can read it without feeling depressed. Read blogs Obviously, you already do this. There are countless people out there sharing their knowledge on a huge range of niches, and anyone can find plenty of blogs that interest them. Because you can leave comments, blogging offers a level of interaction that can’t be matched by books. Final thoughts After you finish school, you’ll never again have someone giving you homework. And while you probably spent many years looking forward to that, it’s important to realize that learning is a big part of what makes life interesting. When your learning is self-directed, it can be a lot more fun than school was. You were given a large brain for a reason. Use it.

[...] Your life is made up of the meaning you give to it and the significance you attach to it Conclusion We’ve probably all seen the bumper sticker that says: “He Who Dies With The Most Toys, Wins!”  The fact of the matter is that at the end of the day, “He” is still dead.  It’s not about the toys – it’s about the feelings we have while we’re alive.  As my children have taught me again and again: sometimes the best feelings don’t come from the cool toys, but from the cardboard box they came in. Yes, the economy is doing some very unusual things.  Yes, that may end up having an impact on you and your family.  But I promise you that you will only feel helpless if you focus on the things over which you have no control.  My suggestion is that you use your power of focus to stay anchored in the present moment and to choose your reactions wisely – they make all the difference.

Thank you, nice article. i think morale is so important for increase motivation.

I can relate to your thoughts on “the bar” possibly being raised unrealistically high. I think that #17 follows along from #16 in the positive/constructive criticism approach. I think that raising the bar a “little”, as the author states, speaks to the fact that we should strive to look at the good sides of out accomplishments. By looking at our attempts from a positive perspective, this allows a person to have a realistic sense of achievement and be able to direct their attitudes, feelings, thoughts and behaviors toward ever increasing levels of personal achievement.

Motivation is the fuel of achievement and its essence determines the level one can easily reach to. The toughest thing for most people is to have a high level of motivation in all phases of their life. If you want to achieve your dreams then the ability to motivate yourself is a crucial skill. Whether you are on the workshop floor or in the “ivory tower” your motivation will lead you towards your goal.

good points will try and use these for myself they will surely help.

MOTIVATION… i believe is a continuous process , if u motivate ur employee once dont think dat the work is done ..as an efficient hr person is one who derieves new and novel techniques to motivate people….as it is very rightly said dat motivation does not last longer nor does “BATHING” thats why we recommend it daily…human beings are most unpredictable they might be motivated today but may be they are demotivated the next day.

“MOTIVATION” IF U HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOTIVATE WORKFORCE THEN DEFINETELY YOU ARE THE GREATEST WORKFORCE FOR YOUR ORGANISATION…………….

I think these are excellent ideas to motivate others – thank you.

A more motivated and happy workforce is a more productive workforce that gets along better with each other.

I particularly like “Get people on your side and they’ll want to help you. Piss them off and they’ll do everything they can to screw you over.” So true! Love it!

This is a great site! I am an aspiring professional development speaker and would love for the PicktheBrain community to join my professional development blog site called Proadmin2.

This is great. Imagine what the world would be like if we all had attitudes based on these principles.

I totally agree with number 18, we always have to make it fun but I also believe that in order to accomplish that all the people working on a team must really love what they are doing do. Like Confucius once said “find a job that you love to do and you would never have to work a day in your life”
So build your team with that in mind, make it fun and enjoy!

EDUCATION!

This is a really good list. I really connect with your advice about kindness, and being good to people so that they’ll want to give you a helping hand. I think that is particularly important for people who are just starting off in business.

I would add that you should create or develop a personal motto that poetically explains what you are standing for, like “Who dares, wins” or “Nothing is impossible”.

Nice post..i found a an app for my iPhone which really suits the topic..It is Pocket Coach and you can schedule your plans right here…

Great List! I have another one that is kind of off the wall. Do a meditation or contemplation before you go to work. If you are feeling stressed on a particular and you know you are not going to be at your best, sit down for 20 and ask for help on how to be present in a healthier way for you and your staff. I recently read a wonderful book by Andy Feld called, “Wake Up! Your Life is Calling.” The author promotes this inward practice and has overcome incredible challenges in his own life (work and personal) by tapping into a higher intelligence. I hear he is even in the process of making a movie about these experiences.
thanks for listening,
Kim

Thanks Kim for referring me here. I am often asked the difference between motivation and inspiration. To me, motivation comes from the the outside and inspiration from the inside. Our personal happiness, joy, and abundance is an inside job and learning to reach within through meditation, contemplation, and affirmation is the best way to get on track. Wrap this all up with an understanding of Universal Oneness and the love which holds it together and anyone can get on the right track. Yes a little willpower and self-discipline does help. Thanks to all andy

Motivation, undoubtedly is a strong force in a person that leads him/her to a successful life. A person who keeps himself motivated never quits and this is what takes him to the heights of glory. A self-motivated person can bravely combat all the hurdles in his life. Therefore, keep your self motivated by reading motivational quotes and using motivational words in your life.

These are real good tips. Motivation is the essential tool required for change. But you need to understand how to access motivation. The key is ‘motivation follows action’

Timeless advice for motivation. Setting a deadline is a crucial step that people often skip. Or they set a sliding deadline. Meaning they didn’t quite make it so they keep moving it.

I never put much thought into the idea that consequences almost automatically set people up for failure. What a great lesson. This could all fall under the part of clearer communication I suppose. Either way, my eyes are opened further.

Motivation is important because it is what allows us to achieve goals, solve problems, achieve objectives and proposed to have a good relationship with others is the lever that we can do is to have a reason to get ahead, contemplating difficulties and seeing it as another way to achieve goals

This is sure a great tips.
But hard to archive.From No 1 to 21 is like one phase to another 1 phase to master it.
For me the great motivation came from the phrase “family is everything”

Thank you for your self motovation tips.

motivation like energy, it give us energy to keep our purpose. But God give us all we need.

Thanks for a great article. I am particularly partial to Trust and Respect. In my experience, that is a very powerful motivator, whether at work, at home or with friends.

Hi…. its me again….
You never stop writing such wonderful articles.
What i experienced, the great motivation came from looking all people around us…most of them, even us had a little or somehow difficulties and disabilities that we can hardly see it. It keep inside of me alert …

Thanks for the info. A lot of good tips in that list.

This is a great post but the structured form that it takes makes it a tool that is more viable in the workplace rather than in one’s social life.

These techniques are definitely something I will use in the workplace.

Thanks!

This is a really great blog! Keep the posts coming! Thanks.

i am a senior in highschool who has NEVER done good in school. i cant stand it anymore. i have no motivation what so ever to succeed. i keep am telling myself that i will change after this highschool bullshit is over. but my father tells me otherwise, that i wont snap out of it. i read your 21 post things on motivation, and i really understand them, but i cant come up with the motivation to set these goals let alone follow them… im not sure what to do, but i would like your opinions on this if you wouldnt mind. maybe a word or two of advice? it would please me! =/ thanks Travis..

Some excellent ideas – keep the posts coming

Sorry, but You write many things that are not true nor practical (although sound rational) For example, what You call “the old carrot on a stick technique” is just the old thinking about motivation, without acctually knowing human’ motivational and emotional procesess (psychological knowledge, not the intuitive one). Special rewards decrease people’s effectiveness in tasks involving thinking and creativity. Don’t You know that?!

Hey Travis,
I’m not an expert but I’ll write what’s on my mind.
First of all, You’ve got the motivation: writing here proves that.
But if You were “NEVER” good, You’ve got no joy nor faith in what You have to do in school, and where there’s no joy, no fun, no intrest, there’s no motivation.
I’d recommend stop fighting for motivaion to do things You don’t want to do, and try to find Your motivation that already exist: it can be motivation to travel, or play music, or ding what You like.. Forget about school for a while, give yourself a break..
Your father wants best for You, but listen to Yourself first.. Even if You’d have to leave.. Motivation = I want… so You won’t find it, not starting there: what would You like to do.. what do You want to do..
Not what You have to.. and especially not what You should do many time ago..;)
Wishing You all the best!
Moni

MY MOTIVATION
My biggest motivation is my personal growth as it is the great opportunities that life offers me many times are few and should be exploited to the fullest, as the article says that in all the circumstances of everything that happens to us the main thing is knowing how to handle and to serve us not so much experience if not give us more strength to move forward and become a great professional and morally be a whole person and that things are achieved with great effort and is often not easy to get and many times to mourn almost tears of blood to get to achieve our goal.

MI MOTIVACION
Mi motivación más importante es mi superación personal ya que es las grandes oportunidades que me brinda la vida muchas veces son pocas y hay que aprovecharlas al máximo , como dice el artículo todos los circunstancias que dentro de todo lo que nos sucede lo principal es saber manejarlo y que nos sirva no tanto de experiencia si no que nos dé más fuerza para seguir avanzando y llegar a ser una gran profesional y también moralmente ser una persona íntegra y que las cosas se logran con mucho esfuerzo y muchas veces no es fácil poder conseguirla y que muchas veces a que llorar lagrimas casi de sangre para poder llegar a lograr nuestro objetivo .

My opinion regarding the methods of motivation seems very good and that we as people must be motivated when performing work or whatever, and also if employees are our superiors have them present for the work is not the same daily routine.

Regarding methods of motivation seem so cool, because everyone deve be motivated by something at the time of a job or work being done for pleasure as if things never go out without enthusiasm Realian alike.
On the other hand I feel good that they have a strong presence over the achievements of their employees because these make them feel that what we are doing this very well done and helps their self esteem.

The motivation is essential for all activities that we want to forward to achieve very good philosophical thinking in order to achieve all our goals with enthusiasm, with more desire to have excellent performance and give great results, the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were holding hands to motivate us as we encourage others to keep fighting.

Thank you so very much for its messages

In my own opinion motivation is a part and parcel of growth and successful organization because the more workers motivate the more they will contribute to growth of the organization, which will drive to organizational goal. Motivation is bedrock of any solid organization .And in a lay man; motivation is that thing management or organization give or do to worker (s) which makes him or her to work more than he or she use to work

These 21 points are perfect bullet reminders, so thanks for that. The best video I ever saw was by UK life coach on You tube. Enjoy it here

Good work,

pls check ur numbering..u missed one. they are not 21, u dont have #9

Whoever wrote this takes liberty of the word proven. Check out an RSA video on youtube about motivation, you’ll know which one because everything is drawn as the speaker says it. Money is a terrible terrible motivator when working with anything mental. It is a great motivator only if the task is purely physical mechanical labor. Watch that video its actually from an intelligent source, not just from someone looking for hits on their blog pretending to have the answers.

I agree for all… its very useful for me. You missing 1 number.. #9 .,, what is it??

Aspiring Minds

visualisation techniques are the way forward for personal motivation,, its tough to get others to do it tho,, but this post is very good with some great ideas!!!

Excellent insights. It’s remarkable how much of motivation is about treating people with kindness and being aware of what they need. It starts with leaders recognizing that the workplace is not all about them and that motivated employees become that way because we do things to help get them there. I’d also add that listening and giving people a voice are valuable things to motivate people.

Motivation is what drives mankind, whether it is negative or posetive motivation it all does the same thing,, but you can chose which you impliment but remember if you impliment negative motivation then you will become disliked very quickly with your work mates!! you have to decide

These are all great methods for increasing the motivation levels within yourself and others when there’s no motivation to be had intrinsically, but what about the ways to turn that extrinsic motivation into intrinsic motivation? You’re pushing yourself into things that you… and your people… don’t want to be doing in the first place.

Good tips for motivating. I also find writing in a journal is a good way to dump the bad and focus on the action I will take

Meditation is one of the easiest techniques you can learn to refuel your body, mind and spirit. While many of us have heard of the benefits of meditation, few of us actually want to spend the time it takes to learn how to meditate. We often cling to stress, fear and anxiety because we think we need these things in order to function in this fast-paced world.

I’m glad you included “Demand Improvement” in your list. A lot of times, motivation and recognition efforts end up simply discouraging underachievers and keeping successful team members from feeling like they need to work any harder. Expecting continual improvement keeps all members of the organization moving toward higher achievements.

Great post!

I am a singer-songwriter Tally Koren writing to you today about the launch of new single 72 Names (Hallelujah) which will last for 72 days. Over the campaign I’m exploring the significance of the number 72 in lots of different situations and I would like you to be part of it!

When I decided to open the 72 days target group I stood in front of the Eiffel Tower seeing that unbelievable monument and it inspired me to open a group. I’m inviting you to be a part of the group, which will be about having a target and achieving.

Your target can be simple everyday thing like losing weight, getting fit or creating or improving something.

Excellent advice! It is very easy to lose track of the things and ways we can motivate ourselvs and others. It is a power that we all have, and it is a power that we need to exercise for bettering ourselves and others!

Staying motivated is very important and can make the difference in life. The same thing goes for business as well. I like how you wrote about setting goals, both short term and long term. I think this should be ranked higher as it is can really enhance one’s drive. Having clear goals, and a path or direction on how to achieve them can in some cases increase one’s chances of being successful.

Motivation is definitely something you should strive to have in your life, whether it be for your personal life, health, business or other. Motivation can be tricky to keep up as well but these ideas that you have posted, in my opinion, are really good. I particularly like the “Let People Be Creative” one. I find that that is really important!

In my opinion, this piece did inspire in any way to become motivated. Most of the points identified and their explanations were not clearly defined. They were difficult to comprehend and lacked examples. It is also in my opinion that it should have been written in first person.
