The Tool:
Super-Motivation: A way for energizing yourself and your organization.
Ability and capability mean nothing unless they are used. When multiplied by motivation, they come alive!
That is why in times or urgency or crisis, ordinary human beings are somehow able to mobilize their latent capacities to accomplish remarkable feats. High motivation is what empowers a 100-pound woman to free her child from under a 3,000-pound truck. High motivation is what energizes a runner to pull away from the pack and win a race. And high motivation is what causes a work team to meet a seemingly unattainable goal.
High motivation, such as in the examples cited above, has typically been viewed as a characteristic possessed by only a few rare individuals, rather than as a quality that can exist organization-wide. Fortunately, is a state that everyone is capable of manifesting; all people have virtually unlimited motivational potential. This innate self-motivation potential has simply been temporarily suppressed because most people work in environments that inhibit its expression.
SuperMotivation will result in higher levels of motivation and performance for virtually everyone, and in a better Employee Experience in the workplace. Although high motivation is not difficult to attain, it tends to be much more difficult to sustain. Some organizations have been successful at mobilizing widespread high motivation for short periods of time. We have all seem this phenomenon when motivational speakers or charismatic leaders have been able to pump up the enthusiasm level for a short time, or when special programs have been able to arouse employee’s energies to reach a short-term goal or meet an urgent deadline. Too many motivational interventions leave people full of hope, energy, and enthusiasm only to have these hopes dashed when returning to the demotivating realities of the workplace.
The real challenge of motivation is not to mobilize energy at a particular moment, but to sustain it for the long haul.
Motivation can be sustained only if it is built into the organization itself. This way, motivation will no longer be subject to the whims of people or the initiation of new programs that come and go.
In fact, every aspect of the SuperMotivation approach is aimed at creating an environment conducive to high levels of self-motivation. Self-motivation is real motivation. Even when we do not appear to be very self-motivated, the capacity for self-motivation still remains. Deep inside every human being is the yearning to be self-motivated rather than controlled by rewards, authority, or some other aspect of the external environment. Every person has the capacity for high motivation. The energy is there and must simply be released.
Understanding self-motivation and the internal forces that drive it requires help and discipline, but the rewards obtained if put in practice, are worthy.
