Intrinsic Motivation
In the
knowledge economy employee’s motivation are different, it becomes imperative
for the Leader to invest time to understand what motivates them, in the past
there was lot of emphasis on external Motivation which is otherwise called as
an extrinsic Motivation, where Leaders were figuring out how to motivate the
team & were developing Incentive schemes, Rewards & Recognition Programs, but today Leaders need to work on
Internal Motivation which is otherwise called as an Intrinsic Motivation.
Leaders
should understand the Intrinsic needs of the Team members, this is possible
only when they spend time on both task and the person. Leaders should spend
quality time to understand their subordinate’s goals and plans, by doing so
they can connect with the subordinates intrinsic Motivation and customize the
Motivation plan according to the needs of the subordinates.
Such
motivation plan will not only sound personal it will also reinforce the
subordinates that their Leaders are addressing their Intrinsic needs, and which
will also enhance their performance.
When the
Leaders addresses the Intrinsic needs, they not only make a difference in their
subordinates’ lives, they also develop a strong self-motivated team who sees
jobs beyond rewards & recognition
Leaders do not give carrots; they help their
subordinates identify their vision in them
