How to motivate people at work

‘You can buy a man’s time; you can buy his physical presence; you can even buy a measured number of his skilled muscular motions per hour. But you cannot buy enthusiasm…….. You cannot buy loyalty……. You cannot buy the devotion of hearts, minds and souls.’

‘You must earn these.’

Clarence Francis

More has been written about motivation and how to increase it than probably any other fact of managing. The very fact that the subject gets so much attention suggests not just its importance but its complexity. Getting people to do the things you, as a Manager, want them to do, at the level and quality you seek – at best because they want to do so is a skill many Managers spend their lives seeking to perfect.

Use the table below to answer the three questions:

1. What three things motivate you most at work?
2. What three things do you find give you the most satisfaction at work?
3. What are the three biggest demotivators in your workplace?

Bear in mind that a real motivator is someone that drives behaviour (from the Latin Motus; action, movement). This can be both positive (praise, incentives etc) or negative (threats, disciplinary action etc). Satisfaction is what a person feels as a reward from achieving their motivations but won’t necessarily drive behaviour e.g. we might feel great once we finish our monthly report (satisfaction) but we may lack motivation to do it.
