Only 10% of employees look forward to going to work?! In a 100M person US workforce, there are only 1M people actively contributing to the productivity environment. Those naturally inspired may be fighter pilots, consultants, and entrepreneurs. Anybody else?
In this article , the author points out that this is a failure in leadership. It is rare that you are actually inspired by your management, but what would your subordinates say?
You can inspire your customers and peers too.
Reducing the burden of uninspiring work takes the investment of communication. Paint the benefits of their work every other day. Clarify the expectations for delightment by writing them down.
Has anyone read the book “Fire Them Up!” Do you recommend it; Share your thoughts (or the book!).
Use this neumonic to fire them up!
I: Ignite your enthusiasm.
N: Navigate a course of action.
S: Sell the benefit. (what's in it for me?)
P: Paint the picture. (stories sell)
I: Invite participation. (buy-in, ownership)
R: Reinforce an optimistic outlook.
E: Encourage their potential. (praise)
everyone wants their effort to make a difference.
