"Motivation: A different perspective" is written based on various literature review on sustainability of performance - organisational culture/behaviour/creativity/ people processes, motivation etc. It brings two specific perspectives: "SPLITS & CARE". My recent interaction with Balaji Prof C who has developed an interesting process known as "Causing Incredible Performance" with remarkable impact on people and organisations - mainly focusing on rewiring their internal voices has further validated my perspectives. Kindly provide your insights on it.

4 Reasons CEOs Struggle to Align Employee Goals to Corporate StrategyKhorus
As CEO, your job is to ensure your company is profitable. If your employees aren’t sure how their job contributes to that purpose, you might be fighting an uphill battle. Getting your employees on the same page with the executive team starts with recognizing where the breakdown is occurring. As they say, the first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem.
One of the most revealing metrics in determining if your employees understand their purpose is if they can answer the simple question, “What is it you do every day and how does that affect why we exist?” If not, it’s likely due to a lack of communication from the top down – that means you. This eBook can serve as a wakeup call for any CEO wondering how they can get the most out of their employees and ensure everyone is working towards the corporate vision.

Can passion be taught? Can it be fostered? The answer is yes. But perhaps more accurately, a team leader must create the right conditions for passion to emerge. Those conditions must be nurtured, not unlike a gardener creating the right conditions for his plants to flourish. Make your job easier. Get the inside scoop on the secrets of success that motivate teams to top performance. In the matrix of workplace roles and responsibilities, managers are pivotal to corporate success. Yet a manager is often the unsung hero who must adapt to demands from all sides—and do so with little or no training, and without mentorship for the role. Learn from Dan Bobinski, who draws from 20 years of consulting experience, extensive studies of best practices, and the latest in neuroscience research. You'll learn the principles and methods top managers use to develop passionate, engaged employees who are dedicated to success. You'll be able to:
— Motivate without manipulating
— Turn mistakes into a fervent drive for quality
— Equip teams to enthusiastically adapt to change
— Create environments in which people strive for excellence—and more
Today's workforce requires managers to be more than just a person in charge. Creating Passion-Driven Teams show you how to tap your team's natural motivations and achieve consistent, sustained top performance.
Engagement in your company is a sorrow?
Therefore people under perform and relationships are damaged or is it the other way around?
If you would like to add a really practical tool on leveraging on engagement, you could use the x-model of BlessingWhite that helps you assess and work out the right strategies to level up engagement.

"I'm the boss!"
It's a common mistake to think management is defined by formal authority—the ability that comes with a title to impose your will on others. In fact, formal authority is a useful but limited tool.
People Want More Than a Formal, Authority-Based Relationship with the Boss
Many managers—especially those who were achievement-driven stars as individual performers—don't even think about relationships. They're so task oriented that they put the work to be done and their authority as boss at the heart of what they do and assume they can ignore the human aspects of working with others.
The problem is that most people don't want your authority to be the be-all and end-all of the relationship. They want a personal, human connection, an emotional link. They want you to care about them as individuals. They want you to encourage their growth and development. Research tells us this kind of human relationship with the boss is a key factor determining an employee's level of engagement with the work.
We know of a small-company owner, a warm, decent woman, so pressed for time she consciously decided to avoid small talk at the office. She never opened up to people about herself or asked about their lives and interests. She didn't, that is, until her people rose up and expressed, through an intermediary, that they hated how she treated them. They wanted a real human connection with her, even if she was "the boss."

Here is the fundamental problem: People think of execution as the tactical side of business, something leaders delegate while thy focus on the perceived “bigger” issues. This idea is completely wrong. Execution is not just tactics—it is a discipline and a system. It has to be built into a company’s strategy, its goals, and its culture. And the leader of the organization must be deeply engaged in it. He can delegate its substance.
We talk to many leaders who fall victim to the gap between promises they’ve made and results their organizations delivered.

Execution is a specific set of behaviors and techniques that companies need to master in order to have competitive advantage.

Book Summary of Execution : The Discipline of Getting Things DoneChandra Kopparapu
The book titled Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done by Lawrence Bossidy and Ram Charan is an examination of what it takes for companies to succeed through strategies, processes, leadership and ultimately, execution. It is this which sets successful companies apart from those that fail. It was reported that nearly 25% of the fortune 500 CEO’s failed to execute the Business Strategy.
Today’s leaders are poorly served by conventional management theories and practices. Instead of helping executives manage the growing complexity of business, the supposed solutions only seem to make things worse. A new book from BCG outlines a better approach to managing complexity. The approach is called smart simplicity, and it hinges on six simple rules.

Employees at any level have always struggled between wanting to be their own boss in some capacity. The dream (for some) is to be able to work with a large degree of autonomy from the “boss”, in small teams that are personable, collegial and non-hierarchical. This setup is required in situations when things move fast and coordination is difficult or impossible. However, let’s hope it is not because the organization lacks inspirational leadership.
A typical case is a business development team that has been assigned the creation of new business entity in an overseas market. It is entrusted to be entrepreneurial, do the right thing, and adapt to local circumstances. How do you ensure this decentralized team does not reinvent the wheel, make choices that are inconsistent with the company brand, or miss out on opportunities to capture scale economies?
Effective decentralization is thus found in cohesive decentralization. First of all, amount organizational expectations. When a team is given decisional power, upper management should expect that they thoroughly inform themselves on and follow into the “grand scheme”. The team would immediately inform management about any issues that arise, come to them for advice, and take responsibility for corrective action and final results. Effective upward management means involving seniors for maximum effect, rather than keeping them at bay.
Cohesive decentralization is also about strengthening the fabric that keeps everything together, so that the whole organization can fly formation instead of all over the map. We’ve identified the seven key factors that bind teams for success, ensuring each team can thrive and survive within a larger team.
Business Agility and Organisational LearningShoaib Shaukat
Many companies facing the dilemmas of business change, tries to adopt Agile methods and practices in order to achieve the benefits of Agile. However, all they end up with is the "Cargo Cult". This is due to their short term pursuit to achieve quick productivity gains to stem the delivery chaos which is inherent in a traditional delivery model. They fail to realise that any change effort has to start with people; as it is the culture that will determine the sustainability of the change.
In this presentation I will take you through the concepts of business agility and organisational learning and how a focus on culture can help the organisations to become more competitive overtime.

VER THE PAST DECADE, increasing
focus has been placed on the role that
businesses can – and should – play in
contributing to a sustainable global society.
Failure to face up to these challenges has significant costs.
Increasingly, a firm’s long-term competitiveness is
dependent on how creatively and adroitly its leaders
manage at the intersection of financial, social and
environmental objectives.
Responsibility for assuring that leaders at all levels in
the firm are ready to meet these rising expectations is
widely shared throughout the corporation, but HR
professionals, particularly those responsible for leadership
development, can be at the forefront of the effort.
To be in this vanguard, leadership development
experts must reflect on two critical questions: What
kind of leader is called for? And how do we develop
individuals with these capabilities? Since 1999 the
Aspen Institute’s Business and Society Program has
been convening experts in leadership development
from academic institutions, corporations and
professional service firms around the world, inviting
them to share insights on these questions. This article
details what we have learned so far from conversations
with these leading thinkers.
A new model for business leadership
If we are now expecting businesses to operate with a
longer-term view that takes social and environmental
impacts into account, we need a new model of
leadership to achieve that result. Typically, “new
model” leaders:
• are able to span boundaries, listen to diverse
constituencies and be willing to be altered by any of
these inputs;
• have the courage to make tough decisions in a way
that acknowledges the often conflicting
values/expectations of these constituencies;
• are enriched, not overwhelmed, by complexity and
diversity;
• build a team that is stronger than its individual parts;
• see the firm in a larger context, considering social and
environmental issues beyond the corporation’s gates;
• move beyond solving specific problems or addressing
particular needs ...

Business Acumen 5.0 for Sustainable Competitive AdvantagesSeta Wicaksana
Two-thirds of corporate executives believe a lack of business skills or business acumen inhibits their company from meeting strategic priorities. It was established that most strategic plans fail to achieve their strategic goals due to the turbulent changes that exist in the global market today. Since most of the failures in the strategic process occur at the execution stage it is increasingly important that managers at all levels learn how to implement these vital plans while maneuvering through the changes that occur as a result of the dynamics of the markets.
In An organization of high business acumen individuals can expect to see leaders with a heightened perspective that translates into an ability to inspire and excite the organization to achieve its full strategic potential. As your leadership responsibilities expand, so does your need to understand the impact of every decision on the strategic and financial goals of your organization. That's why business acumen—an intuitive sense of how the moving parts of a company work together to create profit —is indispensable.
In the changing world, it is imperative for the professionals to be relevant for them to add value. This paper examines various contexts and provides a framework to build a more impactful people function.

Motivation
What are you going to use, a carrot or a stick or both?
Every day, we come across
umpteen real-life situations,
wherein people (cutting
across all economic/
geographies back-ground)
achieving otherwise believed
to be impossible ac-
tions. These actions are vide-
otaped, shared as stories
to create positive energy
and help people to remove
obstacles and move ahead in
life.
If we study these cases, we
can clearly conclude that
mostly people who have very
less resources at their dispos-
al - economically and physi-
cally - achieved these mind-
blowing results, and all of
them are successful and role
models for others to emulate.
Two major lessons can be learned from
these cases
• Optimum resources are not required to
achieve what you set your eyes on.
• Having self-belief is critical to succeed
and surmount “even otherwise believed
to be impossible” obstacles
Carrot, stick, or both would not
help to build motivation
3. Partnering to Build Actionable Knowledge: Learning Paper 2 - Motivation
What is Motivation?
Intrinsic or extrinsic or both
It is
”motion activated towards a
specific life goal”
It is also linked to our emotions – psyche. It is our intrinsic
belief, which help us activate within to move towards this
goal.
If so, in an Organisational Context, why people
do not get motivated towards achieving better
and better?
Why continuous follow up is required to get a
task done – even at senior level?
Why organisation, collectively, do not achieve
the budgeted goals – consistently?
The answer lies deep in its culture.
4. Partnering to Build Actionable Knowledge: Learning Paper 2 - Motivation
Motivation
What is the link with Excellence?
Another interesting aspect of achieving result is Excellence.
Perfection is the way towards excellence or
Excellence is the way to reach perfection?
If we study all real-life situations / lives of people, we can con-
clude two interesting perspectives:
• Consistent excellence is a process towards per-
fection, and it is a journey.
• To excel, we need to have challenges thrown
at us : Challenging our status quo, Challenging
our capabilities, Challenging our internal belief.
Organisational experts developed Vision / Mission/ Strategy/
Goals/Structure and Roles - so that ultimately each one of us
can define and move in a known path to achieve our collective
Vision/Mission.
If so, why organisations fail in their stated goals or lose their fo-
cus completely. Most of the mergers & acquisitions are being
done to excel in their chosen field and grow inorganically. How-
ever, study after study clearly indicates that the failure rate of
M&A is somewhere between 70% and 90%.

Why it does not happen—the pitfalls: ”SPLITS”
Organisation SPLITS, impacting the performance culture
and motivation to excel. Mostly, organisation SPLITS,
due to earlier success creating a sense of complacency
or due to a status-quo mindset among the top leader-
ship– the discomfort to swim through unchartered wa-
ter.
Self-centred Leadership
Purposeless “strategic” meetings : Only “perceived” ownership
on outcomes of meetings. Organisation hides behind projec-
tions/data analysis – to create a larger than life situation and
growth.
Listens less, resulting into stressful working relationship, lower
transparency and poor teamwork.
Intention lacks. Leadership works with false façade of truthful
intention, making it impossible for stakeholders to add value
Target obsession. A paradoxical fight between short and long
term ensues, and unrealistic targets and expectations are set to
achieve. It brings a hollowness in the minds of employees.
They feel confused on the real achievement. It gets compound-
ed by the compensation linked biased performance manage-
ment process.
Speed to deliver: Tinkers with the current systems and pro-
cess to develop “new products/services” to ensure faster re-
lease to the market, eventually leading to “me too” products
and impacts the market share, revenue, and profitability.

How to make it happen—the way forward
Successful organisations weave CARE into their organisational
fabric to build a motivated workforce across the levels.
Communication with a purpose. All communications should be
made based on principles of FACTS, ensuring no disso-
nance on any policy implementation.
Fair
Authenticity
Conviction on decisions made
Transparent
Safe-guarding interests of all key stake-holders
Accepting mistakes and learn. Successful organisations consist-
ently ensure that there is a tolerance level to accept mistakes,
and healthy dialogues are structured around such mistakes/
failures.
Relationship with a purpose. Developing more informal net-
works at different levels with a constant reminder of the col-
lective dream. Making all stake holders proud of the associa-
tion – ethical, being best, socially responsible, adult oriented
and creating space for different groups to co-exist.
Excel consistently. Questioning the status-quo, and owning up
new challenges to excel, and rewiring processes accordingly.
