NEW MOTIVATION METAPHORS
Ali 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 THIRSTY
OR VERY THIRSTY
You have the drive
to satisfy your thirst
YOU FEEL THIRSTY OR
VEY THIRSTY
YOU DRINK
You have the drive
to 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 motivators
are needed
EXTERNAL MOTIVATORS
ARE LIKE FUEL FOR CARS
EXTERNAL MOTIVATORS
ARE LIKE FUEL FOR CARS
Cars shall not run
without fuel and
NEEDS REFUELING
AFTER A WHILE
EXTERNAL MOTIVATORS
ARE LIKE FUEL FOR CARS
Cars shall not run
without 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 CAR
THAT RUNS WITHOUT
NEED FOR FUEL
THESE PEOPLE HAVE
A WILLINGNESS TO ACHIEVE
A NOBLE GOAL AND
THEY HAVE A LASTING
BATTERY THAT IS FILLED
WITH SOLAR ENERGY
THEY ARE SELF - RENEWING
THE BIGGER THE GOAL IS;
THE MORE MOTIVATED
THESE PEOPLE ARE.
BUT, WHAT ABOUT THE
ENVIRONMENT AND ITS
IMPACT ON MOTIVATION?
LIKE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
THEY EXTINGUISH FIRE
SO ARE SOME MANAGERS
AND 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, IDEAS
AND DREAMS.
NO WONDER THEY RUN
ILL-FATED ORGANIZATIONS
BIG WELCOME TO
IDEAS ATTRACTANT
DREAMS ATTRACTANT
POSITIVE EMOTIONS
ATTRACTANTS
