Successful Team Motivation Part 1
By Jim Owens PMP
Einstein had an amazing ability to explain very complicated concepts and principles in very simple terms. In fact I've often thought that the ability to reduce complexities to fundamentals is key to higher thinking. An example of Einstein's reductivist abilities, and his sense of humor, he once gave this definition of Relativity:
�When a man sits with a petty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute, then it will seem like more than an hour. This is relativity.�

Have you ever noticed that you can tell that a scientist is famous when they can be referred to just by their last name, when a female model is famous she can be referred to by her first name (e.g. Elle), and a famous pop singer can be referred to by a just a symbol

But pondering Einstein�s explanation more deeply, we see that the sources of motivation as well as being diverse, can also be opposites -- the attraction of sitting with a pretty girl, or the impetus to avoid the hot stove -- these forces are opposite in nature, but both motivate us to act. The concept of opposite compelling forces can be seen everywhere, from simple stories such as Aesop�s fables (the sun and the wind), countless works of literature, and of course the various bibles and holy books (usually involving good and evil).

To an employer of people, Intuitively the concept of motivation seems simple, �give them more money and they will work harder/better/smarter -- or any way you want them to�.

But what if you had lots of money, would an increase in pay still motivate you? Well if money doesn't motivate you, would you be motivated by "intangibles" such as more status or more recognition?

So people seem to be motivated by rewards of varying types, but yet we have all heard of people such as "starving artists", charity workers, religious people and so on who work ceaselessly yet shun these things, in fact some even give up everything to follow their charitable work.

How then can we explain someone who gives up their life for someone else, perhaps someone they don't even know? And what about the motivation of fear, and so on? So perhaps you are beginning to see that motivation is a very complex issue?

Let�s have a look at a dictionary definition.

Motivation (MS Encarta dictionary):
1. Giving of reason to act: the act of giving somebody a reason or incentive to do something
2. Enthusiasm: a feeling of enthusiasm, interest, or commitment that makes somebody want to do something, or something that causes such a feeling
3. Reason: a reason for doing something or behaving in a particular way
4. Psychology forces determining behavior: the biological, emotional, cognitive, or social forces that activate and direct behavior

Meaning #4 is useful as it allows for motivation to NOT do something, or to stop doing something that you have started (a negative �action� if you like).

In project management, when we talk about motivation we are chiefly concerned with the forces that we can use to enable certain goals to be met, within parameters.
Goals are met (or not) by people -- i.e. by your team members and other stakeholders -- so an understanding of the theories of motivation and how they apply to people can assist you in your project.

Communication can take up to 90% of a project manager's time during a project, so this is one area that you really need to proficient. Experts tell us that children
