If you find you continually have to motivate the people you lead and perhaps even yourself to get the job done, you may be missing a pivotal point of prosperity.
Motivation is external, while inspiration is an inside job. We tend to motivate people to do what they don’t really want to do. It can be done; it’s done all the time. However, it doesn’t last. Inspiration lasts. We inspire people by reminding them and getting them to reconnect to what they really want to be doing based on their order of values.
Learn how to show people how the job that needs to be done is in alignment with their core values and they will achieve what needs to get done and do it with pride.
If a business is struggling, you can bet that the leaders of that organization don’t understand the importance of knowing the values of the people they lead.
Roy Disney is known for saying, “When your values are clear then your decisions are easy.” Make it easy for you and for the people you lead. Know their values. Know your values. Align your organization’s values and everybody will experience less drag and therefore more efficiency leading to more productivity.
