On motivation
One of the most striking statements on motivation is Daniel Pink’s Youtube video about the three most important factors of motivation:
- Autonomy (independence)
- Mastery (control over a subject)
- Purpose (objective)
What makes a good working environment?
Translated to the company side, this results in some necessary conditions for employees to be motivated, committed and effective:
An environment of trust and respect
For trust and respect to develop, it needs
- a safe environment in which one can act without fear
- trustworthy and authentic leaders who guarantee a large part of this safe environment
decentralized decisions
An environment in which autonomy and responsibility can arise requires decentralized decision-making authority.
Leveraging diversity
Diversity helps to adapt to new developments. A diversity of perspectives leads to the ability to deliver better solutions and more flexible work in diverse working groups.
What else
This is a selection of factors that we consider to be central to an organization. Other factors, some of which are almost synonyms for the ones above, are
- meritocracy – the fair recognition of performance
- openness – it’s hard to imagine trust without openness
- community – working and setting goals together
- ownership – having authority over one’s own area
- a culture of discipline – the requirement to also justify the trust placed in you
