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