NEW MOTIVATION METAPHORSAli Anani, PhD

I dedicate this presentation toYusuf Tokdemir.My dialogues with Yusuf inspired these ideas

MOTIVATION IS

The general desire of someone to do something and act upon it.

YOU FEEL THIRSTY OR VERY THIRSTY

YOU FEEL THIRSTYOR VERY THIRSTY

You have the driveto satisfy your thirst

YOU FEEL THIRSTY ORVEY THIRSTY

YOU DRINK

You have the driveto satisfy your thirst

BUT IF A PERSON IS LAZY TO DRINK HE/SHE REQUESTS SOMEONE TO BRING WATER

BUT IF A PERSON IS LAZY TO DRINK HE/SHE REQUESTS SOMEONE TO BRING WATER

Or, stay thirsty

IF THE INTERNAL DRIVE DRIES UP (INTERNAL MOTIVATION)

IF THE INTERNAL DRIVE DRIES UP (INTERNAL MOTIVATION)

External motivatorsare needed

EXTERNAL MOTIVATORSARE LIKE FUEL FOR CARS

EXTERNAL MOTIVATORSARE LIKE FUEL FOR CARS

Cars shall not runwithout fuel and

NEEDS REFUELING AFTER A WHILE

EXTERNAL MOTIVATORSARE LIKE FUEL FOR CARS

Cars shall not runwithout fuel and

SO, ARE EXTERNAL MOTIVATORS. YOU HAVE TO KEEP FEEDING THEM IN

EXTERNAL MOTIVATORS SHALL ONLY MOTIVATE CORRECTLY OR TO THE DESIRED EFFECT IF THEY ARE CAREFULLY SELECTED

PLANES, DIESEL CARS AND OTHER VEHICLES NEED DIFFERENT TYPES OF FUEL

PLANES, DIESEL CARS AND OTHER VEHICLES NEED DIFFERENT TYPES OF FUEL

So are external motivators. They should be customized to fit the person.Not all motivators fit all

FUELS HAVE AN OCTANE NUMBER

FUELS HAVE AN OCTANE NUMBER

The octane rating of gasoline tells you how much the fuel can be compressed before it impulsively ignites.

IF EXTERNAL MOTIVATORS ARE TO IGNITE THE BENEFICENT THEY MUST HAVE A CERTAIN “MOTIVATION OCTANE NUMBER”; ELSE THEY MAY FIRE BACK

INTERNALLY MOTIVATED PEOPLE ARE LIKE A CARTHAT RUNS WITHOUT NEED FOR FUEL

THESE PEOPLE HAVE A WILLINGNESS TO ACHIEVEA NOBLE GOAL AND

THEY HAVE A LASTING BATTERY THAT IS FILLEDWITH SOLAR ENERGYTHEY ARE SELF - RENEWING

THE BIGGER THE GOAL IS;THE MORE MOTIVATEDTHESE PEOPLE ARE.

BUT, WHAT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON MOTIVATION?

LIKE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS THEY EXTINGUISH FIRE

SO ARE SOME MANAGERSAND ENVIRONMENTS

They are expectations extinguishers

THEY ARE DREAM EXTINGUISHERS.THEY ARE MOTIVATION EXTINGUISHERS

UNFORTUNATELY, THESE MANAGERS ONLY KINDLE HARMFUL FIRES AND DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO PUT THEM OFF. WHO WOULD CONTINUE WORKING FOR THEM OR WITH THEM?

YET ANOTHER METAPHOR FOR DE-MOTIVATING MANAGERS

HOW ABOUT

Idea-repellent?Spirit-repellent?

THESE MANAGERS REPEL TALENTS, IDEASAND DREAMS.NO WONDER THEY RUN ILL-FATED ORGANIZATIONS
