  28. Willingness to exert HIGH levels of effort toward organisational goals, conditioned by the effort’s ability to satisfy some individual need

  29. "The heart of motivation is to give people what they really want most from work. The more you are able to provide what they want, the more you should expect what you really want, namely: productivity, quality, and service." Twyla Dell writes of motivation, (An Honest Day's Work (1988))

  30. What Motivation will do for organisation? • A positive motivation philosophy and practice should improve productivity, quality, and service. Motivation helps people: • Achieve goals • Gain a positive perspective • Create the power to change • Build self-esteem and capability • Manage their own development and help others with theirs

  31. Point to Pause! If no customer = no profit no profit = no business this means: no customer = no businessTherefore customers ARE the business! So the Ones in direct contact with customers are as important as the customer themselves

  32. Point to Pause! External Customers People who directly serve External customers People who serve the Internal customers

  38. A perfect Life-Job match creates motivation

  39. 1- Personal vision • Cultivating Pro-activity • A move from Reactivity towards Pro-activity • From Outside-in to Inside-out • Begin with the end in mind "Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context -- a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.“ Eliel Saarinen, "Time", July 2, 1956

  40. 2 – How you see your “self”? • Self-efficacy: • Confidence in the ability to cope with life's challenges. Self-efficacy leads to a sense of control over one's life • Self-respect: • Experience oneself as deserving of happiness, achievement and love. Self-respect makes possible a sense of community with others

  41. 3 – Paradigm of Interdependence “Interdependence is a higher value than independence” Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey • Creating harmony in work environment • Think Win/Win – Interpersonal leadership • Working Together, Winning Together • Win/Win/Win • Creative cooperation - Synergy

  44. 5 – Management as Role Models • Act as if you have high self-esteem • Your behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, and example are a powerful role model for staff members. How you look, talk, present yourself, and act send the most powerful message possible to all staff members • Practice personal integrity and fairness • Model it and expect it from others. People who feel they can tell the truth, without fear of reprisal, grow as they experiment and experience success and failure • Provide frequent feedback • Frequent feedback that reinforces what people do well and corrects the approaches that need improvement • Learn what staff members feel good and positive about doing • Maximize their opportunity to contribute in these activities • Provide assignments that stimulate growth • Ask people to stretch beyond what you have observed them doing in the past. Challenge staff members. Negotiate goals which are realistic, yet a stretch

  45. . . . .Contd • Provide positive reinforcement • Provide positive reinforcement rewards, and recognition to reinforce the standards and practices you believe your staff members are capable of achieving • Create an environment in which people practice self-responsibility • Show that you trust them to report production numbers, deal with employees who are not contributing to the team effort, and succeed and/or fail at implementing new ideas • Demonstrate that it is okay to disagree with the supervisor • Allow the implementation of new ideas, even if they are different than yours. Praise when the approach works and ask the employee to implement more good ideas • Provide clear expectations about performance standards • Provide clear expectations about performance standards to all employees and express your sincere belief that they can meet or exceed these standards. • Publicly chart progress • Publicly chart progress of the participants to create an ongoing sense of competition

  46. 6- Give them direction to move • If they see their path clearly they will be more motivated to move “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to”, said the cat. “I don’t much care where…”, said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go”, said the cat.   Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
