Challenges help us discover ourselves
These days we are discussing the 9 tactics that lead to self / others motivation. The nine tactics being (1) Recognition, (2) Trust, (3) Challenge, (4) Direction and Communication, (5) Opportunity, (6) Personal Stake, (7) Freedom of Choice, (8) Incentive and (9) Association with a team or group.
We have already talked about Trust http://hunt-for-motivation.blogspot.com/2011/01/people-respond-to-trust-by-upholding-it.html
And recognition, and how it is used to tame killer whales http://hunt-for-motivation.blogspot.com/2011/01/rrecognition-can-tame-killer-whale-why.html .
Today lets think “Challenge” i.e. asking people to do, what they have not done before. Word it right and watch them reach their zenith. Its is proven that people thrive at tasks that are at or just beyond their skill level. If you word it wrong, people might get de motivated see the video below as example of both instances and choose for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnvjaaeVBxo&feature=player_embedded
While thinking about distributing responsibilities to your team. Dont think of giving it to people who have already done such a work before. Think of an old OAK Tree, because the strongest oak tree of the forest is not the one that is protected from the strom and hidden from the sun. It is the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and raind and the sun.
We will continue to grow if we think that life's challenges are not suppose to paralyze us, they are their to help us discover who we are.
