1 Motivating the Demotivated Checklist 221 Introduction Some would argue that people are not unmotivated; it s just that the right motivation triggers have not yet been found. It s largely a question of identifying what you have not been getting quite right and working on what makes the apparently unmotivated tick. Definition Motivation is defined as the needs, drives and desires that drive human actions and thoughts. Those needs range from physical needs (food, shelter) to emotional (need to belong, recognition, love) to cognitive (making sense of the world), and their intensity and scope influence behaviour and perception of the environment in every human being. Action checklist 1. Find out what does motivate them The better you know your colleagues/employees the better you can manage them. So get to know them. This doesn t necessarily mean sharing evenings out, or endlessly having chats about what happened at the weekend. But it does involve trying to form an objective view of what matters to them, of what drives each individual. You may have been trying the wrong things. Try asking: What s important to you in your work, what annoys you? and did things change lately? Listen and write down what is said. Typical examples include: a) Being appreciated for what I do and achieving something Try to find out what kind of appreciation they mean, e.g. promotion, bonus, public praise and recognition, private recognition, more responsibility, new tasks, job security. b) Doing a good job and enjoying myself What does enjoyment mean to them - working with people they like, completing projects on time, not working too much? c) Solving problems themselves, e.g. being the expert, developer, or rather motivating others to get things right, managing and organising, or solving problems as a team. Which stage of problemsolving, e.g. developing new ideas and concepts, implementing things, organising and supervising? Now what you need to do is to reframe their work in terms of what it is that motivates them. We have to remember that what is motivating for some may well be de-motivating for others. 2. Use their own words Once you have identified what s important to the other person about their work, take the words they have used and show how they can be motivated in their work. Let s look at each example in turn:
2 Example a) Being appreciated for what I do and achieving something. This is a person who needs you to tell them how much you appreciate what they do. You also need to talk to them in terms of what they are going to achieve. Not what you want them to do. For example: We need to sell five thousand of these by the end of the year. How can we do that? You ve got to work harder and sell more of these. Example b) Doing a good job and enjoying myself. In this case you probably need to ask what they mean by doing a good job. Most people think they know, but it s different for different people. Once you know that, you can help them. For example, it might be any of these: i. Finishing what I started at the beginning of the day ii. Having satisfied customers iii. Doing the job to the best of my ability. You also need to find out what they enjoy in order to discover how you can help them to enjoy their work. Example c) Solving problems and making sure things don t go wrong. Here, you have a person who likes solving problems so you need to talk about work issues as problems and use that language when you speak to the person. This is someone who may well not be motivated by goals and targets. This individual will be delighted if you tell them you have a really difficult problem to solve and no one else can fix it. Sometimes, one individual s negativity is another s positivity. By using reverse psychology and informing someone of what could go wrong, you can in fact motivate them to do a better job. 3. Treat all of your team members as individuals All these things are very personal. It won t be the same for any two people. So find out exactly what an individual wants and what you can do to help them. In the first case here: (i) Finishing what I started at the beginning of the day. Here you can ask the individual how you can help them to finish what they started at the beginning of the day. In the next case, (ii), you need to find out who the individual thinks of as their customers and then how they can be satisfied. It may be that they are already satisfied but the individual is not aware of this. Case (iii) will require you to find out what the individual means by the best of my ability and how that can be measured. Think of your employees as a team and what motivates them as a team, as opposed to other teams. Which incentives can you set on the team level to increase team cohesion and performance? Individual and team motivation need to go together. Which level you address depends on the analysis of the current situation, on the tasks at hand and the goals you need to achieve. Motivating teams is one key strategy for integrating difficult individuals. As a rule people do not want to be left out and stand out too much. So if you manage to find incentives that motivate the whole team but one, that one employee is likely to make at least some effort. 4. Have clear goals Psychologically speaking it is unlikely that whatever goals the demotivated have, they are not helping work performance. For managers it is always best to work from the position that everyone has goals, but they might be diametrical to what you need at work. More likely than no goals is that there is not enough goal clarity, or that there are conflicting goals that are set. E.g. by different supervisors in the organisation, e.g. for employees who are members of several teams etc., so check for goal incongruence. This could be because none have been set for them or they are unable to set goals themselves. Finding it hard to set goals is often a consequence of stress. It can happen because the part of your brain that performs the function is simply switched off.
3 It can also happen because a person sets themselves goals that are just too big and frightening that they can t see the steps in between that will help them to achieve the goal. 5. Offer help with planning Similarly, once you have got the goal clear then you need to help the individual work out small steps in order to achieve the goal. Do this by asking them what they need to do. If they come up with large-sounding or daunting factors, then help them again to break down the larger steps into smaller, approachable and manageable ones. For some employees however, it can be more motivating to let them do all the planning, and not to interfere with the way they achieve the goals. 6. Take time to explain It may also be a question not so much of being unmotivated as being uninformed. Some leaders may operate under the illusion that because they are so familiar with the organisations goals and targets, they assume that all their team members know them as well. Usually, this is not the case. Having clear goals is one thing; making sure that they are effectively communicated and understood may be quite another. Take time to explain the what and why of goals and make sure that everyone has understood and assimilated their role and contribution towards achieving the goal(s). Knowing the reason(s) why often helps in daily routines when you have to make choices. Identifying personal drivers and incentives means that you can allocate responsibilities in that person s area of interest. Linking personal goals and contribution to the organisation s objectives is a double success. 7. Involve the unmotivated in coming up with solutions You may well ask an unmotivated person what it is they want or need; they may well tell you what it is they don t want. The negativity may come from a number of origins but try to follow up negative remarks by finding out what they do want. Answer: I do not want to work on this project. Question: What sort of project do you want to work on? Answer: One that s not like this. Question: Would you like more responsibility / independence / resources / scope / people etc? Answer: More independence. 8. Try to get buy-in If people personally decide to attempt something, then generally they are far more likely to be motivated to achieve than if a task is imposed upon them or if they are instructed to do a task. Involvement generates buy-in and ownership. Conversely, if people s views and ideas are not reflected in the way forward, they will either feel that no one is listening, or that solutions are being generated that do not make use of everybody s contribution and experience. Either way de-motivation can set in. 9. Make sure the rules are clear Have you ever embarked on a project only to find that the goal posts have shifted? Weeks into the project you are told that you need to change what you are doing because of some ground rule, or constraint, or working method was not made clear. Clear briefing on the rules of procedure is as important as the communication on goals. 10. Be negative yourself! People who appear de-motivated can often be motivated more by problems or things that might go wrong than by goals. If you happen to be the kind of person who talks about goals and targets, this may be of little consequence to them. It s not that they don t care, it s more that it just doesn t press their buttons. One of the most strange but effective techniques with people like this is to tell them that things are really difficult or impossible. It may seem odd to you, but to them, this is really motivating.
4 Very important: people with high self-esteem and high perceived self-efficacy are motivated by problems and negative feedback. Because they are resourceful, they see it not as criticism, but as a challenge, and it will increase their motivation to succeed. But, people with low self esteem and low self-efficacy will be even further demotivated by negative feedback. They absolutely need positive goals to look forward to. So differential treatment is needed for individual employees. So, if you have one of those people to work with tell them what will go wrong if they don t do something or describe the problems you need to solve rather than talking about targets. 11. Consider alternative action Having tried the above and quite probably some other strategies too, it may be that you have someone who is negative by nature, who is awkward for the sake of it. Such people might not respond to any triggers therefore having a demoralising and detrimental impact on the whole team. Apparently negative by nature, such a person may well find an alternative working environment is more suited to them. So it may be appropriate to suggest that they move on for their own benefit as well as for that of the team.
