3. This article is based on, How do you inspire someone in their work. In
this article the writer is trying to say that, If you are going to be an
inspiration to other people, then first you need to be inspired yourself.
You have to start this journey from your side and become an example
for your coworkers. They will ignore your efforts unless you are example
of inspired behaviour.
There is a key principle you can use: to become inspired is a choice. No
one gets inspired without their consent.
There are many techniques you can use; here are some of the
essentials...
4. Purpose
A worthwhile purpose is a critical factor when inspiring others. For instance, famous leaders like
Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther-King had a clear purpose to attract and inspire their followers, A
clear purpose creates a uniting focus for all involved and it signals the relevance of the work in hand. It
also opens the door for greater job satisfaction and a sense of meaning.
Optimism
When you are aiming to inspire people at work, you will sometimes need to counter pessimism and
negativity. Optimism is not some kind of wishful thinking or pretense. Real optimism is clearly connected to
reality and uses a specific structure of thinking. When faced with adversity, the optimist sees the set-back
as temporary, of limited impact and non-personal. Even if you are not a natural optimist you can learn this
skill, as pioneered by Dr Martin Seligman.
5. Inspiring Language
The words and phrases you use in all your communications, both spoken and written, have the potential
to inspire others. For a start, be inclusive by using ‘we’ rather than the lonely ‘I’. Describe your vision for
the future with the aim of focusing attention on what you want rather than what is wrong. Choose
words that directly appeal to the five senses — visual words (such as look, glimpse, focus); aural words
(like whisper, hear, harmony); kinesthetic words (such as feel, grip, hold, touch). When speaking use the
volume, pace and tone of your voice to convey your enthusiasm.
Show Appreciation
When you give another person your focused attention, even for a short time, you exert a
powerful influence. When this attention is appreciative, especially if repeated over time, it can
be truly inspiring. Appreciation can vary from a simple ‘thank you’ through to prizes and
awards. It also covers respect, sensitivity and encouragement.
As you use these techniques, watch for the results you get. Use them as feedback to adjust your approach
if necessary. And remember to keep inspired yourself!
