this is OUR story

we wake up in the morning

to write the story

and we do that

when we’re motivated

to see things differently

let’s write our storyfor the next 4 hours…and beyond

un traininglet’s start

write our story

understand our motivation

go home and be better at something

un-training

any rule can be broken

anyone can talk anytime

make it better

move fast and break things

rules of engagement

mastery, autonomy, purpose

hierarchical & organic organisations

the competitiveness of the organisation

stories

motivation manifesto

short theory recap

world 1 - only money$$$

only reward is money

nothing done or spoken that is not directly tied to money

no concept of professional relationships, only transactions

emotions do no play a role

the money is a lot

motivation exercise

world 2 - everything but moneybrothers and sisters

motivation exercise

working together, as friends

consideration to each’s needs

perfect environment: respect, collaboration, appreciation

the basics are provided

no money for anything but the basics

world 3 - star trek worldeverything is perfect

everything we need or want is readily available

there is no need for money, there is no money

there is no need to work for anything

vast majority of people are nice and helpful

the only work we do is because we want to

motivation exercise

from the ideal star trek world, choose what you would most like to have in your real world tomorrow

each has 5 votes

use them as you like (all 5 to one, 2 to one 3 to another etc)

elections

why isn’t it happening?

impossible to change

not enough motivation to change

who needs to change what

why not?

take 2 things to change as example

discuss

Q: what would need to be true for this to happen?

Q: what would need to be true for that?

Q: what’s the first thing to do?

Q: who needs to do it?

one rule: wgf who's fault it is

don’t worry, you can continue eating & drinking after we resume, during the un-training

!

!

20 minute break

continue or do something else?

I am responsible for my own motivation over support from others Generosity over efficiency

Resourcefulness over resources Learning over knowing

!!

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more

LEADERSHIP, TEAMWORK, PASSION, POSITIVE ATTITUDE
