Inspiration and Motivation In The Workplace

Improving and Maintaining Motivation in the Workplace is a challenge all leaders face at some point in time. Employee engagement surveys and job satisfaction surveys often point to a lack of team member engagement and inspiration. These articles have been designed to ensure that when your team has to complete the dreaded 'employee job satisfaction survey' that your team's results are positive.

I would prefer to use the term Inspiring Others - however it seems not to many people are searching for that term ... so in order for you to find this page and site I have had to use the word motivation. :(

You may be saying this is just semantics. But the words we use to describe things do set a tone and vibration for what shows up. Motivation has more of a push feel to it ... do it or else. Where as Inspiration has more of a glide feel to it ... do it because I feel moved to do it.

Motivation generally requires someone else to be there prodding and poking to keep you going because you would probably rather be doing something else. Inspiration is self-generating. Certainly there may have been an outside influence initially when someone role-modelled or set the circumstances that enable a person to feel inspired, but once inspired it is self-fuelling.

These articles have been written to enable you to inspire others to step into their potential and want to give of their all ... because they want to not because you are dangling carrots or sticks at them. My hope is that this information will inspire you to create a best place to work ... one where people enjoy turning up for work and feel that they can give of their best and are inspired by the work they do.
