The benefits of training managers on how to motivate their staff and the role of mind mapping techniques in leadership training.

critical management skill

Motivation is a crucial managerial skill and organizations should focus on developing high motivation through effective leadership and good employer-employee communication. The inner desire to do a good job is the essential drive that drives an individual beyond the threshold of success, self-identity through personal gratification.

Well-motivated employees are like loyal soldiers willing to give their lives for their country/business organization. Furthermore, with current levels of social unrest, economic change at work, and the inevitable drop in morale in the workplace, Motivation can mean the success or failure of any organization.

negative motivation

Why do people work? Do people work for money? Do people work because they love their job? Or do they work because they fear failure?

In most organizations, employees work out of fear. Fear of failure, degradation, insult, not reaching goals or being fired from work. Fear of not having enough money to pay for the basic necessities of life.

Thus, in all these cases the motivating factor is a negative – Fear of losing something. W. Edwards Deming, renowned management guru, asks his clients to eliminate fear among employees. In his opinion, employees can only Perform effectively in a fearless environment.

Leadership Training with Mind Mapping Techniques

A good manager must strive to positive motivational reason. A positive cause can be defined as desires, needs, drives, and urges that are inherent in each individual. They include knowledge, status, and the realization of one’s individual potential. Mind Map Leadership Training is designed to instruct managers on how to motivate those under their supervision by connecting workers with their own powerful internal motivating force.

Choosing between self-motivation and directed motivation

Supervision should be aimed at helping workers and machines work in harmony so that together they produce better performance.

A manager can choose between two main methods of motivation:

• directed motivationin which the manager takes full responsibility for motivating employees to perform better.
• self motivationin which the manager inspires the employees to be self-motivated, a sign of true leadership.

At first glance, directed motivation may seem easier than creating self-motivation. It’s the traditional way, but it also places a huge burden on the manager and ignores all the untapped potential in the workforce.

Transformational Motivation

Creating self-motivation requires the manager to step down from his authoritative role and build good relationships with employees. According to Peter Drucker, the disruption of the command and control model is the key factor in boosting self-motivation among employees. He says that a manager should treat employees as volunteers. This helps you achieve transformational motivation instead of transactional motivation.

Motivation leads to satisfaction

In his book, understand organizations, Charles Handy emphasizes the role of motivation in organizations. According to him, motivation is the answer to most of the ‘whys’ that employees have in mind. Answering these ‘Why’ solves all management problems. For employees, answering ‘Why’ leads to job satisfaction.

Thus, we can form a circle of positive energy. It starts with directed motivation, leads to answering ‘Why’, moves to job satisfaction, and finally results in self-motivation.

If any organization can achieve this circle of positive energy, success is certain. It will lead to multifaceted growth of the organization and people. However, most organizations prefer to focus on monetary capital rather than human capital. By the way, the sport is replete with team benefit analogies to finding the highest and most suitable human capital to win championships.

increased production

As Peter F. Drucker, the father of management practices, rightly said:

“No institution can survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way that it can get by under a leadership made up of average human beings.”

Leadership training in mind mapping techniques focuses on teaching managers how to create self-motivation in the workforce. This leads to higher levels of job satisfaction, fewer unauthorized absences, higher retention rates, better job performance, and a significant increase in production!
