The Motivation Trifecta: Keeping Yourself and Your
Team Motivated
“The questions many people ask- namely, ‘How do I motivate people to learn? To work? To do
their chores? Or to take their medicine?’- are the wrong questions. They are wrong because they
imply that motivation is something that gets done to people rather than something that
people do.”
-Edward Deci

Complete the Leadership Motivation
Assessment
If you have found that you're strongly motivated to lead, and you're already a leader - great! And if you're not already a leader, this is
definitely an area you should investigate as you plan your time at College.
On the other hand, if your score indicates that you don't have a strong motivation to lead,
you will need to identify the type of work that does motivate you.
MOTIVATION Psychological processes that arouse and direct goal-directed behaviour
Extrinsic Motivation ���
Motivation caused by the desire to attain specific outcomes ���
���vs ���
Intrinsic Motivation ������
Motivation caused by positive internal feelings
AUTONOMY
Our innate need to direct our own lives
MASTERY
To learn and create new things
PURPOSE
To do better by ourselves and our world
Purpose: To do better by ourselves and our world
Autonomy: Our innate need to direct our own lives
Mastery: To learn and create new things
How do you create an environment that gives those
you lead a sense of:
Autonomy? Mastery? Purpose?
AUTONOMY ��
Give group members or those you lead autonomy over (some or all) the following
aspects of a project:
When they do it (time)
How they do it (technique)
Whom they do it with (teams)
What they do (task)
MASTERY ��
Allow those you lead to become better at something that matters to them:
Provide “Goldilocks tasks” – tasks that are neither
overly simply or overly complicated. These tasks allow employees to extend themselves and develop their skills
further
Create an environment where mastery is possible –autonomy, clear goals, immediate feedback and
Goldilocks tasks.
PURPOSE��
Take steps to inspire those you lead that they will contribute to a great cause:
Communicate the purpose or mission
Put equal emphasis of the purpose of the
project as you put on the outcome or objective
Use purpose-oriented words (us, we)
