Cycle of Motivation

Dear Friends and Family,

A concept I learned a long time ago just popped in my head and I need to ponder it today. Motivation:

1. I understand what is expected of me
2. I can achieve what is expected of me
3. My achievement can be measured
4. My achievement will be measured
5. My achievement will be rewarded
6. The reward is something I want
7. There aren't negative network externalities to getting my reward

Now, how to apply it to work? I think it's a matter of explaining the concept to the people I work with and then putting it into practice. Okay. That'll work.


Cheers!
