Welcome to the March 2007 edition of Key Inspirations with Kevin Asbjornson, MIM, Leadership and Performance consultant, keynote inspirational speaker and performing artist. Thank you for subscribing!
Key Inspiration for the Day: Leaders inspire people. People motivate themselves. One of Kevin Asbjornson’s Eight Keys to Inspired Leadership is that “Individuals in organizations bring intrinsic motivation to their work,” and that “Rather than trying to manufacture motivation, an artful leader inspires exceptional work by calling upon others’ innate desire to make a difference.” This principle is echoed by Nancy J. Adler, professor of international management at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. In her recent article in the journal for the Academy of Management Learning and Education, Adler examines the business trend of incorporating artists and artistic processes into leadership. She writes, “The leadership challenge today is to inspire people, not simply to motivate them … Artists also understand intrinsic motivation. Whereas most motivation systems in business have focused primarily on extrinsic rewards, most artists are almost entirely motivated intrinsically.” As Kevin models in his Performing Arts-based leadership and development experience, Artistry of Leadership - Creating Meaningful Connections®, it is this inspiration that fires people’s imaginations, which triggers innovation.
