Motivation
- Importance of motivation
- If you want to achieve greatness, you need to stop asking for permission. This is
why motivation is important in life because it stops asking questions and aligns you
to work towards your goals.
Goals are the stepping stones toward what you want to achieve and you need
motivation to achieve to keep you chugging along towards them.
- Motivation is the defining factor that turns a good thought into immediate action.
It turns a good idea into a business and can positively impact the world around you.
- Without motivation, you can't achieve anything. There are no goal posts to aim for
and no purpose to strive towards.
-Motivation is an important life skill. The reason it's important is because every
person on this earth is unique and has a purpose. To steward your purpose well,
you have to be motivated to work towards your goals which helps your dreams
become a reality.
- If Steve Jobs wasn't motivated to start Apple, you wouldn't have a MacBook air,
iPhone or iPad. Another example, Thomas Edison, a scientist who invented
lightbulbs, made 1000 trials. 999 trails failed while the last trial succeeded through
motivation. If Thomas Edison wouldn't be motivated to make a large number of
trials, we wouldn't have electricity by now.
-You live in a world where motivation has solved problems and produced products
and services you never knew you needed.
-Motivation can also help you personally to be the best you can be. This can have a
positive effect on your confidence, relationships and the community you live in.

reasons why motivation is important in life.

new things.

Similar to classical conditioning, you can use operant conditioning to teach someone
how to avoid negative consequences.

3) Achievement Motivation:

advance up on the ladder of success.
4) Power Motivation:
It is the drive to influence people and change situations. Power motivated people create an
impact on their organization and are willing to take risk to do so.
5) Fear Motivation:
Fear motivation coercions a person to act against will. It is instantaneous and gets the job
done quickly. It is helpful in the short run. Managers following theory x come into this

Everyone is motivated differently, which means that extrinsic motivation may not always
be the best method of persuasion for every individual.
Theory of Motivation:
Abraham Maslow a well-known American psychologist, has said that a person will be
motivated when the following needs are fulfilled, by saying people don't just work
for only security or money, but they work to contribute their skills together. So, he
has created a pyramid to show how people are motivated, starting from the
lowest level is the basic needs unless if they are satisfying people then it wouldn't
work by going up at a higher level.
Teamwork
What is teamwork?

effort of a group to achieve a goal or a task in
the most effective, by doing the right thing, and

results.
3- Troubleshooting team

manager or the responsible, as this kind of work team does not implement the
solutions it suggests.

specific project until completion. Afterward, the group dissolves as it achieved its
objectives.
Typically, members come from different areas of the company and perform other
tasks related to their home department.
But, as far as the project is concerned, they answer to the project leader.
Its members are usually the best of the company in the area. During the
resolution of the emergency, they will dedicate themselves exclusively to this
task. Their goal is to do this in the best way and in the shortest possible time.
Now that you’ve seen what the different types of work teams are, understand
how they form their dynamics.
Theory of team work:
• This theory was first created in 1965 and has been applied in many
organizations for best results.
Tuckman's theory is the most famous teamwork theory because
he studied the behavior of small groups in the society from
different perspectives. In this theory, the teamwork is analyzed
with the help of four stages. These four stages are:
1. Forming
The initial stage of team development during which individuals have not yet gelled
together. Everybody is busy finding their place in the team, sizing each other up,
and asking themselves why they are here!
1. Storming
In this stage people begin to see themselves as part of a team. However at this
stage they may challenge each other, and the team leader, about such things as
what the team is doing, and how things should be done. Therefore there is some
loss of performance or focus on the task.
1. Norming
This is the phase where team members start to come together, developing
processes, establishing ground rules, clarifying who does what, and how things
will be done.
1. Performing
This is the final stage where increased focus on both the task, and on
team relationships, combine to provide synergy. Performance is
delivered through people working effectively together.
STARBUCKS
The owners: Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker at Seattle's Pike Place
Market.
Starbucks Corporation is an American multinational chain of coffeehouses and
roastery reserves based in Seattle, Washington.
From 1986 to 2000, Schultz tenure made a great increase in the number of franchises, first in
Seattle, then throughout the West Coast of the United States. Last studies in November 2021,
the organisation had 33,833 shops in 80 countries.
in addition to drinks and food, many shops have Starbucks' official merchandise, such as mugs,
tumblers, scoops, and espresso presses. There also many select "Starbucks Evenings" stores
that provide beer, wine, and appetizers. Starbucks-brand coffee, ice cream, and bottled cold
coffee drinks are in grocery shops in different countries.
TOYOTA
The Kanya bank has become successful due to that they go with a main factor that is
motivating employees that helps benefit them as well other factors are like job security,
training, development opportunities, respect, fair treatment, and possibly having chance of
promotional opportunities which all these factors can be motivating toward Kanya’s
employees and boosting their self esteem as well. All of this has led Kanya bank to
achieving 33 branches countrywide, ICPSK champions of government award, as well being
known for the best foreign bank in Kenya EMEA awards, also was the first ever bank to
receive ISO 9002 certification in Kenya, and finally it’s the best foreign exchange bank in
Kenya. By looking at all these achievements it shows how successful Kenya is at managing
their employees to be motivated to keep pushing through, but one problem that Kenya is
facing that there is a high turnover in some of it’s the banks and due to this the bank
struggle in competition because there is some insufficiency of motivation.
Meanwhile for Toyota it’s a highly successful company due to the intense teamwork they
have within their employees, where each employee has the responsibility to work
together, communicate honestly, share ideas, and ensure team members understanding.
First Toyota doesn’t allow individualism in their company even though it’s prominent in
western culture, but Toyota deemphasizes it. Second, Toyota checks their candidates
before hiring them to not just see if they are technically and competent talented but as
well have the skill of being team oriented. Finally, Toyota views the team to be the
organization's power center. Not the other way around, the leader serves the team. This
shows how Toyota is a competitive company since not every other company has that set of
skill.
Now looking at Starbucks they are well known and successful due to the fact they have two
important skills motivation and teamwork. As for teamwork they have a good strategy,
they can establish their well-developed system to keep their bond between all levels of
workers, they use the phrase partners not workers, they say it helps to make the gap
between level narrows. The number of employees they prefer to make small groups like
from 3-6 to contact each other easily. They treat each other equally and this is important
for them and gives them the chance to give their opinion and get engaged to feel they are
important and have a great role. We can connect this type of teamwork by linking it to how
Toyota as well is good by the set of skill of teamwork that they work together,
communicate, and ensure that every other employee is understanding. The second
important skill that Starbucks share is motivation, motivation is a known vital factor for a
business to become successful in the production process, the reason they succeed in
motivation is that they share equal treatment where each employee is treated equally, and
In order to narrow the gap between managers and employees, they also co-work with the
basic level staff in the front line, this doesn’t only just shows that employees enjoy their job
but as well the customers are affected by their enthusiasm. Secondly, Starbucks listen to
their employees for example the managers plan the working hours per worker and as well
arrange a schedule for time off, and there are as well weekly interviews to see what the
employee’s needs are. Finally, Starbucks shares a good welfare where the employees are
offered a great deal of welfare policies for example, they get commodities discounts and
medical insurance that includes health, vision, and dental insurance, they as well receive
vacations. This all motivates the employees to have the same goal meaning that they are
motivated to increase the sales of the company to earn more profits. In all Starbucks
employees are their most important asset. We can as well link Starbucks’s motivation with
Kanya’s motivation whereas they get to be treated equally and respect.
