Inspiring Your People

Inspiring Your People

Do you lead a team that seems to lack drive and engagement and you always need to pump them up and push them along to get the things that you need them to do?

Well, that's less about them and more about you.

So, stick with me because this week I want to delve into an area that will help you have your team wanting to push YOU forward.

Hi, this is Grant Herbert, VUCA Leadership and Sustainable Performance Coach, and today, I want to continue our conversation on the relationship management competencies of social intelligence by helping you to inspire your people.

We all know that in this current workplace that we are engaged in, command and control does not work. Telling people what to do, and managing what they do, isn't the way to get things done. No one wants to be managed, pushed, and told what to do.

If that's the type of leadership you're still relying on, it's little wonder you're not getting the results that you want.

In my career as a leader in corporate, I thought that all I needed to do was use my authority to get things done. However, I found that to be the furthest from the truth of anything possible. I learned that instead, people need to feel like they belong to something bigger than you.

It's not about the leader or the individuals, and it’s not even about the team. It’s about the culture, the environment, and the relationships. Even motivating people is not your role. That's something they need to do themselves.

As a speaker at conferences around the world, I have people who will introduce me as a motivational speaker. I quickly speak to that because I don't want to be a ‘motivational’ speaker.

Motivation is pumping you up, and the problem with that is if I pump you up, you just get all excited. You feel like you're going to do something, and then when you get back into the real world, and I'm not there to continually do that, then you are not going to have that same experience in the room.

I like to say that I inspire the audiences that I speak to. I light a flame within them, not under them, and I help them to motivate themselves.

It's what people want to move away from and towards that creates the engagement and the motivation.

They are then self-driven.

We are all human beings, and we have free will so we put in depends on what we think we're going to get out.

So, today's leader needs to be inspirational.

Yes, you need to motivate, but that's motivating yourself.

You also need to inspire the individuals and, therefore, the collective of your team so that together, you can get the things you're meant to do.

I want to give you five things to consider as you become a more inspirational leader of people.

Number one is to cast a collaborative vision.
