Motivation: Generating Enthusiasm

Chapter Chapter 22 in The New Influencing Toolkit, 2015, pp 208-214 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Having the ability to generate enthusiasm in the team is a great asset for a leader to possess. In the first instance, there must be a willingness to be enthused from the employees’ perspective. But to get people excited and engaged about a vision is largely the responsibility of the leader. There are two powerful tools for building a sense of excitement and passion: the use of storytelling and applying the G.R.O.W. coaching model. Used skillfully, both of these tools can engender heightened motivation. But before I discuss these two techniques, let’s identify some of the factors in the workplace that can create a motivational environment, and some factors that detract from this. To do this, I draw from the well-documented research of Frederick Herzberg. Building enthusiasm in a team for the work they do ought to be the ultimate aim of the leader.
