Sustaining Motivation

Welcome to the first of our
7 Ideas Coach Podcasts




“How do I motivate the people in my organization?”
It’s a question I hear often; but what’s really being asked is how to get people to do more on their own – to be “self” motivated. Is there a way to get people to go beyond what is minimally required?
Here are seven nuggets of leadership wisdom on motivating others.

  1. People can’t genuinely say yes unless they have the ability to say no.
  2. Fully listening is not equivalent to agreeing.
  3. Start with building rapport.
  4. Increased communication always brings increased miscommunication.
  5. Real trust is given just before it is earned.
  6. Assume competence.
  7. Encourage conversations about big questions that can never be fully answered.
