If you want to make things happen the ability to motivate yourself and others is a crucial skill. At work, home, and everywhere in between, people use motivation to get results. Motivation requires a delicate balance of communication, structure, and incentives. These 21 tactics will help you maximize motivation in yourself and others.
Motivation
1. Consequences - Never use threats. They’ll turn people against you. But making people aware of the negative consequences of not getting results (for everyone involved) can have a big impact. This one is also big for self motivation. If you don’t get your act together, will you ever get what you want?
2. Pleasure - This is the old carrot on a stick technique. Providing pleasurable rewards creates eager and productive people.
3. Performance incentives - Appeal to people’s selfish nature. Give them the opportunity to earn more for themselves by earning more for you.
4. Detailed instructions - If you want a specific result, give specific instructions. People work better when they know exactly what’s expected.
5. Short and long term goals - Use both short and long term goals to guide the action process and create an overall philosophy.
6. Kindness - 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.
7. Deadlines - Many people are most productive right before a big deadline. They also have a hard time focusing until that deadline is looming overhead. Use this to your advantage by setting up a series of mini-deadlines building up to an end result.
8. Team Spirit - Create an environment of camaraderie. People work more effectively when they feel like part of team — they don’t want to let others down.
10. Recognize achievement - Make a point to recognize achievements one-on-one and also in group settings. People like to see that their work isn’t being ignored.
11. Personal stake - Think about the personal stake of others. What do they need? By understanding this you’ll be able to keep people happy and productive.
12. Concentrate on outcomes - No one likes to work with someone standing over their shoulder. Focus on outcomes — make it clear what you want and cut people loose to get it done on their own.
13. Trust and Respect - Give people the trust and respect they deserve and they’ll respond to requests much more favorably.
14. Create challenges - People are happy when they’re progressing towards a goal. Give them the opportunity to face new and difficult problems and they’ll be more enthusiastic.
15. Let people be creative - Don’t expect everyone to do things your way. Allowing people to be creative creates a more optimistic environment and can lead to awesome new ideas.
16. Constructive criticism - Often people don’t realize what they’re doing wrong. Let them know. Most people want to improve and will make an effort once they know how to do it.
17. Demand improvement - Don’t let people stagnate. Each time someone advances raise the bar a little higher (especially for yourself).
18. Make it fun - Work is most enjoyable when it doesn’t feel like work at all. Let people have fun and the positive environment will lead to better results.
19. Create opportunities - Give people the opportunity to advance. Let them know that hard work will pay off.
20. Communication - Keep the communication channels open. By being aware of potential problems you can fix them before a serious dispute arises.
21. Make it stimulating - Mix it up. Don’t ask people to do the same boring tasks all the time. A stimulating environment creates enthusiasm and the opportunity for “big picture” thinking.
Master these key points and you’ll increase motivation with a bit of hard work.

This is great! I’ll be taking a print-out to my Project Management meeting this afternoon. Thanks.
WoW, this is superb!
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 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.
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. I now return you to round-the-clock coverage of the falling sky, already in progress. Patrick Mathieu is a life coach for personal development.

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 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” 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!
