motivation manifesto
short theory recap
world 1 - only money$$$
only reward is money
nothing done or spoken that is not directly tied to money
no concept of professional relationships, only transactions
emotions do no play a role
the money is a lot
motivation exercise
world 2 - everything but moneybrothers and sisters
motivation exercise
working together, as friends
consideration to each’s needs
perfect environment: respect, collaboration, appreciation
the basics are provided
no money for anything but the basics
world 3 - star trek worldeverything is perfect
everything we need or want is readily available
there is no need for money, there is no money
there is no need to work for anything
vast majority of people are nice and helpful
the only work we do is because we want to
motivation exercise
from the ideal star trek world, choose what you would most like to have in your real world tomorrow
each has 5 votes
use them as you like (all 5 to one, 2 to one 3 to another etc)
elections
why isn’t it happening?
impossible to change
not enough motivation to change
who needs to change what
why not?
take 2 things to change as example
discuss
Q: what would need to be true for this to happen?
Q: what would need to be true for that?
Q: what’s the first thing to do?
Q: who needs to do it?
one rule: wgf who's fault it is
don’t worry, you can continue eating & drinking after we resume, during the un-training
!
!
20 minute break
continue or do something else?
I am responsible for my own motivation over support from others Generosity over efficiency
Resourcefulness over resources Learning over knowing
!!
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more
LEADERSHIP, TEAMWORK, PASSION, POSITIVE ATTITUDE
