Last week, we started our 2 blog post series titled “What Motivates You?” based on a Forbes.com article by Paul B. Brown. To read Part 1 of our blog series, click here. We continue that series today and complete Part 2 with a look at what motivates you as an employee. Some of our other favorites from the article include:
* Creating Momentum: Having goals and achieving them little by little provides momentum for some people. And it motivates them to achieve their goals and for setting new ones.
* Visualization: Some people hang a photo of their dream home or their dream vacation in their office or cubicle as motivation. While this doesn’t work for everyone, it certainly provides motivation for others.
* Keep Score: This is not for the faint of heart. If you are a believer in the competitive spirit and “never say never; never quit” attitude, you love to look at the scoreboard. You believe that no matter far behind you are (say for example in sales) from your competition, the game isn’t over and there’s always a chance to come back. And if you take the lead, you like keeping score to make sure you remind yourself how you got there in the first place.
