Seven Major Drivers Of Inspiration In Business

By Cris Furs


A survey conducted by Performance Inspired, Inc., a media, research, and consulting firm in Atlanta revealed that 25 organizations topped the list of most inspiring companies. It is apparent that these companies have followed certain principles of inspiration and motivation to make people consider them as most inspiring organizations.

The above companies and other organizations that have succeeded in their inspiration efforts internally and externally normally follow seven major principles as their basis to inspire their stakeholders. The first is authenticity when people perceive that the leader is teachable, vulnerable, and transparent. The second factor in inspiring others is affirmation, which could be defined as the willingness to openly express appreciation of the strengths or aspirations of others and validate them wholeheartedly.

It is not enough that you remain inspired as a leader but you should spread it to all the stakeholders related to your organization. Spreading the art of inspiration is critical for success in business. You should teach the managers about practicing inspiring behaviors and also engage your employees to become brand ambassadors in inspiring each one, enhancing collaboration.

You should also embed, inculcate, and reinforce various types of inspiring behaviors as well as practices that would drive your business outcome to cater to the best interest of all your stakeholders. You should design, plan, lead, and deliver customized solutions and conduct experimental learning workshops or facilitations and other events that would work in harmony to activate inspiration within your organization.

Marxism has not accepted inspiration as a direct activity or output but it agrees that an inspired artist is attuned for receiving signals from external crises. In spite of these various types of views, whether they are mystical or empiricist, it is generally accepted that inspiration is beyond control by its peculiar nature and occurs instantly.
