. Motivation is essential to great performance and organizational success. But what is it that gets people motivated at work? How can motivation be sustained? What can we do right now to motivate ourselves and others? People have all sorts of answers to these questions. Ask five managers for their best ideas on how to motivate people and you're likely to get five different responses. That's part of the problem. It's difficult to move forward as an organization when people are going in different directions. This session is for people who manage people -- including senior leaders, mid-level managers, and supervisors. It lifts up the hood on motivation and shows what works best. The art and science of motivation is cluttered with unproven theories and assumptions. The session begins with an important briefing on specific motivational approaches that have proven their value in the real world. Participants learn the difference between employee satisfaction, motivation, and engagement. One is about work environment, the other is about job content, and the third is about mission. This distinction is crucial to any effort at workplace improvement. Will higher pay increase job satisfaction? Will a meaningful mission engage everyone? Will increased openness and teamwork make all the difference? We explore these questions and crush some myths in the process. Throughout the session, all of the above is illustrated with stories, examples, case studies, and best practices. In a concluding segment, participants decide exactly how to put their new insights to work. Individuals craft their own ideas for action, and people team up to develop collective plans. It's important to know the proven theories that underlie motivation. But it's essential to go further -- to use the theory as a springboard for developing and taking positive action. This session ends on a practical note that has participants moving together in the right direction. For more information, click to send a note or call 614-488-9721.
