9/8/10...What is the true motivator at work? Books upon books have been written, seminars taught, guru's consulted, and in the end more books will be written, more seminar's taught, and more guru's consulted. The more I think about it, the more it seems our self gets in the way of our motivation. Our motivations are false, therefore they do not sustain themselves.
Another thread...In this day and age, I am completely surprised that engaging the people that do the work to come up with better ways of doing the work does not occur. Autocracy in business still exist. In survival mode, I suppose it is necessary, but this should not be the norm. I wonder what universities or colleges are teaching our people. I wonder what plant managers are thinking. I wonder what upper management is thinking. Over and over I go back to The Deming Dimension and appreciate more and more the contribution he presented to the world, only to be forgotten, ignored, or lost in translation. I am constantly amazed at how people suddenly change from angry, frustrated employees to congenial, lets get it done employees, when a structure is in place to tap into their brains. But...is it sustainable or is it just another false motivation.
I go back to the Bible and the stories of the Israelites who quickly forgot all the great things God did for them, over and over again. Not sure if I see a parallel here yet or not to what I just wrote but the thought continues to nag me as though I need to dig in the dirt a little more to uncover the root. Just as quickly my thoughts go to some other buzzwords.
