Motivating Our Volunteers(“Walk softly and carry a big Carrot”) MWB Neil Neddermeyer www.cinosam.net
Steps Towards action: Establish your own creditability Motivational leadership is influence not title How good do you think you are? What would others say?
Fully identify the problem Do your homework • Is the goal universally accepted as an issue? • Is someone else trying to solve the problem? • What attempts have been made?
Establish the right plan • Strategic Planning is not just working a calendar. • Find common enemy • Find a common love • Complicated plans should be stated simply
Identify the person or group to be activated • Seek out other leaders first and use their creditability • Set up communication avenues
Create buy-in Make it personal and create action: • Touch their hearts then ask for a hand. • find “take homes” • develop contracts
Set the craft to work • Be direct • Make it clear • Give them the reasons for their action • Explain the values and consequences
“Lady Bug Lady Bug, fly away home. Your house is on fire and your children will burn.” It’s decisive It’s clear It’s fulfilling basic needs It’s not leadership It’s motivational
Monitoring • People respect what you inspect • Redundant contacts will find success • Don’t overestimate the event and underestimate the process
Reward success • Using the Carrot and not the Stick • Job satisfaction is more important then wages. • Team building and reward concepts are the same
Be a true leader People follow you because: • Level 1: They have to. • Level 2: They want to. • Level 3: What you have done for the organization • Level 4: What you have done for them • Level 5: Who you are and what you represent. • John Maxwell
Inspire them - then guide them • Motivate: (to motivate is to inspire) • Lead: (To lead is to guide) MWB Neil Neddermeyer
