How well and correctly motivate. Correct motivation on the way to success

"Personnel Management", 2008, N 3

Shocking, but merciless statistics, arguing that the fluidity of ordinary employees and low-level managers is 100 - 150% per year, is a reality. Of course, this is characteristic primarily for Moscow and for trading. And there are several explanations for this:

Moscow is spoiled by an excess of labor;

The employer wants rapid (instantaneous) return on personnel;

The labor market is the myth that money decides everything.

This statistic is the result of the employer's attitude to its staff. By and large, it turns out that the staff is a burden, unnecessary, unnecessary link, which only interferes with the work. It turns out (paradox!) What will be better if it was not at all. It goes without a case, something asks for, he is late for work, it does not want to work, it dresses carelessly, how to customers, etc. etc. Therefore, the attitude towards it is the same. Because of the overaffect of labor, no one thinks about how to keep the employee. Application on the table - and goodbye. We find new workers. Won how much!

Moreover, the situation is often often taken for a trial period (3 months), knowingly reducing him a salary at this time, and do not even think about the conclusion of long-term relationships with him. Then the person is fired as not as the test period, they take another place in his place on the same conditions, and everything is repeated in a circle. Take the third, fourth, etc. What salary saving! Temporary relations, temporary workers, temporary work ... Temporary becomes law! But, as you know, there is nothing constant temporary. Therefore, the fluidity is higher than any rules and rules.

Someone suits it, but before a certain time, someone is not. And then the employer begins to think: so what is the case? It seems to be crying no less than on average on the market for this category of workers, and they go. I find new workers, and these again go. It seems that workers are not bad, but something does not suit them. What to do?

Personnel - the main asset

Improving the efficiency of the enterprise, on which production growth depends, the increase in the quality of life and GDP growth (the main tasks of modernity), and indeed the work of the enterprise, are impossible without personnel. The staff is the main asset of the enterprise. Without staff, the tools of labor is dead. No matter how perfect technology and equipment were perfect, whatever the automated system, without people, without their knowledge and training, without desire and the ability to work, without proper motivation and sufficient stimulation, all this or does not work, or does not give adequate return. Therefore, a person is a key link at any enterprise. And the motivation and stimulation of humans are the main indicators characterizing the efficiency of this key level. No wonder the motivation and stimulation today go to first place in the personnel management system. And the leaders seem to begin to understand it.

Therefore, it is quite natural to the employer: Do you know what your main asset lives is your staff? What cares about what he is concerned about how he evaluates your incentive system?

The ratio "motifs - incentives"

Let's start with the Azov. What is a motive and what is the stimulus? What is motivation and what is stimulation?

Recall that the motives are internal motives of an individual employee (individual motives), groups of people (group motives) or team (collective motives). In short, the motive is what drives man and people.

The concept of "motivation" is used in the sense of the formation of individual, group and collective motives. Motivation also understand the process of influence of incentives for motives to obtain the required level of motivation.

In turn, relative to a separate employee, group or team incentives act as external motivators in labor, activities and work that the enterprise addresses. And the stimulation system is determined and constructed in the enterprise based on its capabilities, goals and level of professionalism of managers.

Based on such an understanding of motives and stimuli, as well as the corresponding motivation and stimulation systems, there are various relations that determine the rules for management in the current practice of the enterprise.

The rule is the first: the greater the incentive system corresponds to the motivation of the employee, the group, the team, the stronger its action and the higher the effectiveness of the stimulus.

The rule is the second (reverse): the smaller the stimulation system corresponds to the motivation of the employee, the group, the collective, the weaker its action and the lower the effectiveness of the action of incentives.

The main trouble of the Russian employer is that the identification of this relation (paradox!) Was based and continues to be based on the inner sense of the head of the motivation of his staff. This feeling is based on the following elements:

On the vision of the relationship of workers to work, performing their tasks and functions;

On the assessment of quantitative and qualitative results of labor;

At the perception of various statements of workers with respect to the existing system of stimulating, and above all wages.

Nobody or almost no one thought and does not want to think that the staff can also have their own opinion that he can also have its own motives and their interests that he can also evaluate the incentive system addressed to him and so on Today, today, a relevant way to reduce staff turnover is a decisive transition from the sensation of the motivational environment to its systematic measurement and study and improving the system of stimulating the enterprise. In this regard, a new management rule arises.

The third rule: do not believe the leader who motivates his staff based on personal sensations. Believe information received from the original source. Put the system of collecting and processing information on measurement and analysis of the level of motivation directly from employees, groups, collective.

Here, the most important condition is an individual approach and personal relation to the employee. Each person is individual. Each in different ways assesses certain incentives. Everyone has their own motives. To calculate them, you need to "climb" in his soul. Say to find an approach to a person to understand what he breathes, that he worries him, where his main strings. And then you will better understand who in front of you. I realized this, you will be easier to establish contact with a person, it is easier to build a management process through cooperation.

The main thesis is that the staff is not a gray mass, but a set of individuals, that is, individuals. Recognize them. Hence the new rule.

Rule Fourth: All people are different, have an individual approach to each person, and so that it is effective, understand the individual motivation of each employee.

How to measure motivation?

Live interest raise issues of practical measurement of the level of motivation and the definition of individual (group, collective) motivational balance. The motivational balance is a relationship between motivation (which attracts that drives the employee) and the antimolization (which repels what causes a negative attitude). Methods of practical measurement of the level of motivation allow you to move to real digits from sensations. On the basis of such measurements, the system formation of motivational statistics of personnel and its study is possible.

Since this is our know-how, we would not like to give a specific methodology for measuring the motivation level in this article. Such techniques are known, they are quite a few. Their essence is to digital determining the individual level of motivation and the motivational balance of a particular person, taking into account a number of factors:

Working conditions;

Labor organization;

Interest in the content of the work performed;

Psychological climate in the team;

Wage;

Style of superior guide;

Level of professionalism of managers;

The possibilities of self-realization;

The prospects for the existence of an enterprise.

Then, according to a group of workers, the average level of group motivation is determined as a medium-media amount of individual levels of motivation of workers who constitute a group (department, plot, workshop), and the team of workers is determined by the collective level of motivation (large division, branch, enterprise).

I would like to stay on the following. When measuring motivation to obtain comparable results, it is important to use one method. Hence the new rule.

Rule fifth: when measuring the level of motivation, use one method. This will provide an opportunity to form motivational statistics and obtain results comparable in time, which will make a conclusion about the dynamics of changes in the level of motivation and the effectiveness of certain incentives.

And the most important point is to overcome the psychological barrier between the employee and the head when measuring the level of motivation. Unfortunately, it often happens that the workers climb and do not give objective information, afraid to offend the manager, so as not to call, God forbid, a negative attitude towards himself. And therefore, when measuring conducted by the head (superior instance), distortions are frequent, and the picture is drawn according to the principle of "what is omitted?". It is clear that such information is far from reality and cannot be based on the analysis of motivation.

Therefore, it is better to charge this difficult job to entrust the third uninterested party, in front of which the employee will be easier to reveal. This may be a consulting company, which on the principles of outsourcing can be charged with work on the measurement and analysis of the level of staff motivation. Hence the new rule.

The sixth rule: to obtain reliable data, trust work on the measurement and analysis of the level of personnel's motivation to the third party, to which it will be easier to reveal to the employee, a group, a collective.

As for the measurement frequency, the interval is optimal once a quarter. This will reduce the assessment quarterly and track the effectiveness of encouraging methods in relation to the execution of quarterly planned tasks.

How to use the results of the motivation analysis?

The tasks facing the third party, which is charged with the measurement of the level of personnel motivation, may be the following:

1) systematic measurement and study of the motivation of employees of various enterprise divisions;

2) Evaluation of the effectiveness of systems used at the enterprise and methods of labor incentives;

3) Development of proposals for improving the stimulation system in relation to various categories of enterprise employees;

4) definition and implementation of new methods of labor incentive;

5) the rationale for new wage systems in relation to different categories of employees of the enterprise;

6) the formation of statistics in terms of staff motivation and estimates of the stimulation system with the subsequent use of information to develop a strategy for the development of motivation and the personnel stimulation system;

7) study of the experience of domestic and foreign enterprises to assess the motivation and the use of various methods of stimulation.

So, we measured the level of motivation, determined the motivational balance. Our further task is to obtain estimates by employees of the inhibited stimulation system. It is important to understand how one or another level of motivation is associated with an applied incentive system. Upon receipt of such assessments, we must understand how the employee (individually) estimates the specific methods of stimulating applied in the enterprise. And separately evaluated:

Methods of material incentive;

Methods of social package;

Methods of moral incentive;

Methods of organizational stimulation.

These estimates are needed to obtain a full picture that connects the level of staff motivation with the system of stimulating it. Without this connection, it is impossible to talk about the full development of the motivational system at the enterprise, since we practically cannot affect the motivation (it is difficult to change anything in a person in my head), but we can change the stimulation system, as close as possible to motivation. Hence the new rule.

The seventh rule: Go from measuring the level of staff motivation to estimates of the incentive system used, believing that the established connection between them will create an effective incentive system, an adequate level of motivation.

But now we have collected all the necessary information to move to the constructive part of the work, namely, the creation of proposals for improving the systems of motivation and stimulating staff. It also needs to maximize the wishes of workers. To do this, collect suggestions that each of them would like to add to the existing stimulation system. Analyze the wishes received, combine them, select the most popular, compare them with the motives of workers and ... boldly go out with proposals to the manual. Success is provided! Such a system will definitely work!

What is especially important in it? It is very important to divide the motivational system for motifs (which encourages) and antique (which repels). Practice shows that the meaning of improving the stimulation system is to "improve the antique". Therefore, the most important tools is to obtain information about the antimitations. For a person, it is much more important not to strengthen the pros, and level or even eliminate minuses. This is a more effective tool that gives a powerful positive effect. Hence the new rule.

The rule is the eighth (last): when improving the stimulation system, focus on eliminating antique and anti-estimulov, as a more efficient way to improve the efficiency of the incentive system.

The question often arises: is it possible to achieve a state when the line is erased between incentives and motifs and, accordingly, the stimulation system is equal to the motivation system? Yes, perhaps. This is the perfect case, and in some small enterprises, where a person is more open in terms of its motivation and management is interested in improving the efficiency of activity, it is possible to achieve such equality. Thus, for small enterprises, this topic is especially relevant and in demand.

Usually, such an equilibrium state is disturbed by the so-called positive dynamics of individual motivation (the growth of motivation), which is influenced by a variety of factors, significant of which are changes in the personal life of the employee - marriage, marriage, the emergence of a child, the need to improve housing conditions, etc.

Personnel Management according to the measurement results of motivation

Measuring the motivation level and assessment of the stimulation system allow a new look at their employees. As we said, all people are different. But the same person behaves in different ways in different ways. Just one job to him, as they say, in the buzz, and the other is a knife to the throat. At one work, the incentives are somehow consistent with its internal motives, and there is no. And employers also evaluate their employees in different ways.

In general, in each person there are internal scales (see the shown scheme), on which it weighed, on the one hand, motives and incentives (positive), and on the other - antique and anti-estimulas (negative). And depending on what outweighs, he behaves at work. So the employer assesses him as an employee.

At the same time, depending on the ratio of motives - antique (M and AM) and incentives - anti-stimulus (C and AC) We can mentally divide workers into the following categories:

The ideal worker who has motifs and incentives to significantly outweigh the antique and anti-estimulas;

A good worker who has motifs and incentives simply outweigh the antique and anti-estimulas;

The average worker who has motifs and incentives is balanced by antiteration and anti-estimulas;

A bad worker who has no anti-flames and anti-estimulas to outweigh the motives and incentives;

A nikudny worker who has antique and antistimulas to significantly outweigh the motives and incentives.

All these situations are discussed in detail on the shown scheme. The results obtained in this way can be actually used to manage personnel.

Suppose, discontent from the employee incentives caused by the accumulated advantage of antique motives over motives, is becoming some psychological face. The employee begins to search, finds and eventually goes to a new place of work, where his motivational balance (as he hopes) will be different: the motives will "translate" antique and, accordingly, incentives - anti-estum. However, if you do not bring the job to the "boiling point" when it is impossible for the reverse stroke, this situation can be calculated as a result of regular measurements of the level of motivation and in the proactive procedure to take certain measures to correct it. Namely, it is necessary to think about the incentives to neutralize the antiotives and anti-estimulas. Naturally, provided that this is a valuable worker who needs an employer. But it can be done on the contrary. For an uneven employee, you can tighten the system of incentives, and then he himself will leave, alleviate the procedure for his dismissal.

Thus, due to changes in the human stimulation system, you can "move" according to the table below, both to the right left and left to right. In the first case, we are going to meet the employee and increase the level of its motivation, in the second - on the contrary, we lower.

Examples of processing of motivation analysis results

Conducting Practical consulting or training seminars in enterprises, conducting people in enterprises, we do not just teach people new approaches, but also identify their problems and in the first approximation we create a solution to solve problems.

a) at the enterprise of a large business (let's call it the PKB) and

b) at the enterprise of the Middle Business (let's call it PSB).

Both enterprises are quite characteristic of Russia.

1. At the enterprise of the PCB, an analysis of the motivation level of participants in the training seminar on nine motivational factors was carried out. Assessment of the motivation level was made on a 9-point scale, where 1 is the lowest estimate (low level), and 9 is the highest assessment (high level). 30 people took part in the diagnosis, which is about a third of the total number of this category of employees. Therefore, the results obtained can be considered representative.

Calculation of average estimates of estimates showed the following picture (factors are arranged as estimates descending). See the table below.

As you can see, in the first place in terms of group motivation, there was interest in the content of the work performed, and the remuneration of labor, contrary to all expectations, was last place. Here is such a split!

I think that the results obtained are not at all exception. And this is understandable. First of all, interesting work, the prospects for the enterprise, the possibility of self-realization, and the payment and working conditions are secondary, are important. The consideant myth that money is solved by everything is really a myth. For a real "binding" of the employee, money is far from the first place. Therefore, people from place to place are moving. Well, what, tell me, interest stand behind the counter. What is the self-realization? Go there (for the counter) from hopelessness, because there is actually no more nowhere, because you need to live on something and feed the family. But also quickly and go. Looking for something more interesting. Looking for the possibilities of self-realization. This is necessary to take into account the employer. Make work interesting. Add her beauty. Choose people who are most suitable for motivation. Well, where it is impossible to take into account, you have to come to humble with a huge fluidity. For these enterprises and categories of workers, such a fluidity is the norm.

As for the antimitatives, the leading antimodes - the anti-stishers of listeners at the enterprise of the PKB are:

1) "Heavy Style" of higher managers;

2) big processing, when a working day reaches 10 - 12 hours or more;

3) a high level of responsibility with great difficulty of work.

These antimitatives themselves suggest where to direct efforts to neutralize them.

2. At the PSB enterprise, an assessment of the stimulation system was made, during which two main problems were revealed. Consider each separately.

A. The first painful problem is ineffective personnel stimulation.

Medium-medium estimates of the methods of the incentive system in the enterprise look as follows (on a 5-point evaluation scale):

Methods of material incentive - 3.2;

Social package - 3.5;

Methods of moral stimulation - 1.3.

Thus, the total medium-average estimate of the entire stimulation system is 8.0 with the highest possible estimation of 15 points. If we translate into interest, then the stimulation system satisfies employees by 53%, that is, approximately half. Do you think this is enough for efficient work? Obviously, no. Therefore, the participants were invited to give proposals to improve the incentive system that would personally allow them to radically level the antique and anti-estum. The proposals of the participants were distributed as follows (arranged by the frequency of repetition).

By improving material incentive methods:

1) introduction of surcharge for work in the enterprise (15 people);

2) the use of a system of bonus on the year of work for the year (12 people);

3) change in the existing bonuse system (8 people);

4) Transition to the wage formula: Basic salary (guaranteed) plus a variable bonus part for individual and / or group (by division) results of work, with a larger first part (6 people);

5) the possibility of acquiring stock shares (4 people).

By improving the social package:

1) providing an interest-free or low-rise loan (14 people);

2) surcharge for a healthy lifestyle (12 people);

3) payment of sanatorium-resort treatment (12 people);

4) payment of the use of a mobile phone (4 people);

5) compensation for using a personal car for official purposes (4 people).

A special note on the social package - at the enterprise this package includes 26 methods, but to a particular employee reaches a minor part (2 - 3 methods), that is, mostly this package is intended for top managers, and for linear personnel, it is declarative. Therefore, it is necessary to make methods of this package more accessible to all, which can increase their effectiveness.

By improving the methods of moral incentive:

1) Announcement of gratitude in various public forms - in the order, at the meeting, in the factory press, etc. (16 people);

2) awarding a valuable gift (7 people);

3) Presentation of the certificate (4 people);

4) "Menu Method" or a selection of an employee of the method of encouragement from the proposed list (3 people);

5) Personal Promotions (2 people).

The general organizational and technical proposal is to limit personalization of the methods of social package and moral incentive. For this, it is proposed maintaining a personal "stimulation dossier" for each employee, in which all methods of social package and moral incentives applied to it will be recorded, as well as plan (planned) new methods. Maintaining such dossiers will allow you to have and use consolidated statistics on the social package and moral stimulation in the context of divisions and enterprise as a whole.

B. The second pain problem is a high staff fluidity.

This problem has a complex nature and, according to the participants, is primarily due to two groups of factors - personnel and organizational.

Among the personnel factors, participants were allocated:

1) "The frozen" stimulation system that does not meet the current realities;

2) depreciation of frames for a variety of reasons;

4) the need to increase the level of training of main production personnel;

5) Imperfection of training technology.

Among organizational factors, participants are allocated:

1) excessively centralized adoption of operational solutions in relation to the management of production units;

2) indisputable interaction procedures between different divisions in the process of their tasks;

3) the overload of tasks and responsibilities of the heads of divisions, as well as the practice of their "infinite" adjustment;

4) incomplete compatibility of planned indicators with product quality requirements;

5) Excessive limitation of materials used in the manufacturing process.

According to the participants of the seminar, the most effective measures to reduce the flow of personnel in the enterprise are the following.

First, the development and practical implementation of personnel policies, which would include: goals and objectives of personnel development; Improving the stimulation system; social programs; Improving working conditions and advanced training.

Secondly, the rationalization of the system and intra-water management processes to increase its efficiency, personal responsibility, as well as improved interaction between units.

Thirdly, the development and use of a special program to increase the interest of young professionals in long-term labor activities at the enterprise and counteracting the "lubrication" of personnel.

Fourth, the development and adoption of the "Ethical Code of the Enterprise". Introduction to the psychologist.

Fifth, improving working conditions and life by creating more comfortable zones in the workplaces, as well as the use of modern personal protective equipment.

Sixth, training of managers of all levels and experts on the problems of motivation and stimulating staff, including the diagnostics of the current state and the definition of measures to improve the methods of personnel stimulation.

In fact, this is the "skeleton" of the finished program for the development of motivation and improving the stimulation system for the PSB. As we can see, realizing and evaluating the motivation of the personnel, it is possible to properly approach the construction of an effective system of stimulating.

Motivation is a very strong tool in skillful hands. Sometimes a person is very easy to motivate himself, and it remains inspired for a long time. But at times it is very difficult to do it, and it begins to slowly tighten the "swamp" of procrastinations and apathy. In this article, you will find several effective ways and useful research on how long staying is motivated.

1. What is motivation and how it works

Scientists determine motivation as prompting to any activity. In other words, it is a combination of psycho-physiological processes that encourage a person to make a certain action. However, there is another definition of motivation.

What is motivation?

So, what is the motivation? This concept is best revealed in the book Stephen's press "War for Creative". He writes: "At some point, Noschena begins to cause a man more discomfort than the exercise."

In other words, it is sometimes easier to take something, nothing to do anything. It is easier to get together forces and go to the gym than to continue lying on the sofa and get fat. It is easier to overcome the constraint and call your potential customer than to lose the award due to the unfulfilled sales plan.

Any our choice has its own "price", but it is better to experience inconvenience from any activity than then regret that you did nothing. However, to take up the work, you need to cross a certain feature that separates the procrastination zone from the active actions zone. Often it happens when we are approaching Deadlin.

In this regard, there is a very important question: what can we do to overcome this trait and constantly stay motivated?

Typical misconceptions related to motivation

It is surprising that motivation usually occurs after you make some unusual act, and not before that. Many have an erroneous idea that it is enough to read the motivating book or see the encouraging video to inspire any activity. Nevertheless, the so-called "active" inspiration can serve as a more powerful stimulus to action.

Motivation is usually the result of any activity, and not its reason. It is only worth starting to do something, as you naturally work out inspiration and you can complete the started.

Thus, in order to motivate yourself to make any action, it is enough just to start it. Below it will be about how to apply this advice in real life.

2. How to motivate yourself and start doing something

Many people try to motivate themselves to achieve certain goals. Without motivation, we spend too much strength and time to carry out the actions leading to the desired result.

According to the writer of Sarah Pek, many novice authors can not complete their works, because they cannot answer the question when they come to work next time. The same applies to training in the gym, business, art, etc. For example, if you do not have a workout schedule, then every day you will wake up with the thought: "I will go to the gym today, if I have a mood."

It seems that the preparation of the schedule is a very simple step. However, this will help you organize and systematize your activities. Usually people try to stick to the schedule, despite the lack of desire and motivation. Many studies confirm this fact.

Stop waiting when inspiration comes, and simply make a clear schedule to follow. This is the main difference between professionals and lovers. Lovers are waiting for inspiration, and start action.

What is the secret of famous artists? How do they manage to constantly stay motivated? They do not simply make up the schedule of actions, and we produce rituals.

The famous dancer and choreographer Twaila Tarp in one of the interviews told about his daily ritual. Every day she gets up at 5.30 in the morning, puts the clothes for training and comes out of the apartment. Then the girl catches a taxi and tells the driver to take her to the gym, where she is engaged in two hours. The ritual is not in the process of training, but at the most ride. As soon as Twile informs the driver where you need to go, the ritual is already complete.

It seems that this is a very simple action. However, if you repeat the same thing every morning, it will be in a habit very soon. And as soon as the action becomes usual, it will be easier for you regularly, because we do not think about routine everyday actions, but simply make them "on the machine".

Many famous people developed their own rituals. This is very written about this in the book of Mason Curry "Mode of Genius. Rules of the Day of the Great People. "

The key point of any ritual is that you do not need to make any decisions about what to do first, but then. Many people cannot achieve success, because they cannot start doing something. If you are able to turn your activity into a familiar ritual, then you will not be difficult to finish the started, even if there will be complex tasks on your way.

How to develop a motivating habit

Following three simple steps, you can build your own ritual and turn motivation into the habit.

Step number 1. Any ritual should begin with some very simple action. For example, you can drink a glass of water before siting for writing a novel. Or you can put your favorite sneakers before going to workout. These actions are so simple that it is impossible to abandon their execution.

Step number 2. You must make yourself move. No motivation is often associated with a lack of physical activity. Remember your physical condition at the time when you are bored or sad. You do not make any active movements, isn't it? At such moments, most people just sit on the sofa and look at one point. In this case, the opposite statement is true: if you are physically active that your brain also begins to work more active. For example, when you dance, it is simply impossible not to feel the tide of energy and revival. Physical activity does not always mean the execution of any exercises. For example, if your goal is to write a novel, this activity should be aimed at writing.

Step number 3. It is necessary to stick to the same action plan every day. Their initial task is to motivate you on certain activities. As a result, you do not have to wait for inspiration. Instead, you just start your familiar ritual, and then smoothly go to the main action.

3. How to stay motivated for a long time

Above the strategies that help motivate themselves and start performing the task are mentioned. But what about preserving motivation for a long time? How to stay motivated?

Imagine that you play tennis. If you choose a four-year-old girl as an opponent, then the game will quickly bother you, as the victory will be too easy. And on the contrary, if you play, for example, against Serena Williams, then constant defeats will quickly demotize you. Such an opponent will be "not on the teeth." You will be interested in the game if the opponent will have equal abilities. You will have a chance to win if you attach efforts to this. Thus, complex, but fulfilled tasks help us remain motivated.

People like difficult tasks. But the level of complexity should be optimal for a particular person. Too complicated tasks demotivate us, while too simple quickly bored.

At this moment, a person is experiencing a special state of emotional lifting. Athletes usually call it a term "to be in shock". At this moment, the person is so focused on performing a certain task that the whole world is fading around it.

To achieve this state, you must follow the rule described in the previous section. If you choose for yourself the task of optimal complexity, you will not only be motivated for a long time, but also experience the feeling of happiness after its execution. As the psychologist Gilbert Brim said: "One of the important sources of human happiness lies in the tasks of a suitable level of complexity."

However, to achieve a peak of motivation, it is necessary to continuously measure your current progress. In other words, it is important that you receive feedback at each stage of the task. Evaluation of own progress is a key factor required to maintain the status of motivation.

What to do if you start losing motivation

Motivation for any action will inevitably begin to fade at a certain point in time. In such cases, you can use the tips below.

1. Your brain is a source of valuable offers.

Imagine that every thought arising in your head is a proposal, not an order. For example, when the author writes an article, he comes to the idea that he is tired. From this it follows the offer to leave work, choose the path of least resistance and surrender.

Just remember that none of these proposals is an indication of action. These are just options, and you have the opportunity to choose one of them.

2. discomfort is a temporary phenomenon

Almost any action that you perform will end very soon. For example, your training lasts only an hour or two. Your report will be ready for tomorrow morning.

Now life has become much easier than before. Another 300 years ago, if you yourself did not grow up my food and did not build a house, then you are doomed to death. And today the tragedy for a person is the fact that he left home the charger for his phone.

Thus, remember the coming prospects. Life is beautiful, and any discomfort is temporary.

You will never regret what you did work well.

Theodore Roosevelt somehow said: "Undoubtedly, the best reward that life can give you is worth the work." We all want our work to be useful to people, and they respected our work. However, we do not wish our attempts to be vain. Everyone wants to get a reward, and not a serious monotonous job. Anyone wants to get a gold medal, but only some want to train just as diligently as members of the Olympic team. Thus, remember that the award is worth the efforts spent on obtaining it.

That's life

In life, we constantly balancing between the desire to remove yourself from all and self-discipline. Life is a combination of hundreds of thousands of small solutions, as to whether it is worth fighting or surrender.

Do not underestimate those moments when you do not want to do anything. Spend this time so that you can be proud of yourself.

Sport classes, as you know, strengthen health, improve well-being and prolong life. It makes it possible that correctly selected physical exertion helps not only gain a great form, but also to cope with depression, Handrea. Unfortunately, due to different reasons, not everyone can go to the gym. In this case, training can be organized at home. Again it does not work? So, the whole thing is in the absence of motivation.

Most people at least once tried to start a new life from Monday or next month. For example, to do in the morning charging, arrange a jog, to eat right, throw, finally, smoking, etc. But there are no discrepancies when, with the beginning of a new week, all the aspirations are postponed for later or simply forgotten. According to psychologists, the reason lies not only in the laziness or the absence of willpower, but also in the wrong approach to the tasks.

Good motivation is a guarantee of further success. It is no secret that any victory begins with a victory over himself, his laziness, fear. In order to start moving forward, it is necessary to determine priorities, analyze their capabilities and change the attitude to the problem. It is primarily important to understand what you want to get from a healthy lifestyle and sports in particular: good mood and self-confidence, harmony and health, the desire to like others, etc. After that, you need to choose the most appropriate form of fitness that will help achieve Set goal. Someone prefers the pool, someone souls power or dynamic workouts, there are those who like dancing, stretching, yoga, running, ordinary walking. The main thing is that the classes bring not only benefit, but also pleasure, pleasure. It is also important to tune in to the gradual achievement of the goal, it will eventually give a steady result and will be in habit, rather than methods that lead to rapid changes.

An incentive for regular physical exertion can serve, for example, workout with like-minded people and friends, a public promise to start conducting a healthy lifestyle. So in the future it will be more difficult to abandon the goal and throw the started. For some people, motivation serves real stories of those who changed themselves and their lives for the better, photographs of slender and cheerful girls, guys from fashionable magazines, which were observed in the prominent place of aphorisms and statuses that attach confidence on themselves.

A successful motivation will be the fact that fitness contributes to the rejuvenation of the body and prevents premature aging. It helps strengthen the immunity, normalize pressure, to establish the work of the digestive organs, maintain the mobility of the joints, eliminates the headache, insomnia, etc.

Effective ways on the way to a healthy lifestyle

Wanting something to achieve, it is important to put specific tasks. For example, setting the goal to get rid of excess weight, decide how much kilograms you want to lose weight. Once a week we are summed up and even if, in your opinion, they are insignificant, fix them in a special diary and compare your progress with the previous ones. Positive results that occur the changes in appearance are also good motivation, since progress increases the effectiveness of classes a few percent.

Those who seek to pump up or tighten their body to such a method, for this weekly measure and write down the volumes of the hands, legs, waist, hips.

Since the human body has a property to get used to physical exertion, then over time, the results become no longer tangible. There is a so-called plateau effect or stagnation. In this regard, it is necessary to gradually complicate the exercises or alternate various types of training: Stretching, cardio, power.

Fitness instructors do not advise several tasks at once, otherwise it turns out in pursuit of two hares. The lack of achievements can be discouraged to further exercise. Only having achieved weight loss to the required mark, you can take on the formation of the figure.

Many in their failures are blamed a dense work schedule, a large amount of household worries and the absence in connection with this free time. However, according to famous artists, whose life is connected with constant touring and filming, allocate 40-60 minutes in good goals can always be. For this, it is not necessary to visit the fitness club at all, although group training and money spent on the subscription is sufficient motivation, but most of the exercises can be performed at home. Morning jog or respiratory gymnastics can be charged with energy and vigor for the whole day, sports in the evening allows you to distract from the working everyday life and problems. Alternatively will serve classes on simulators.

Deciding with the nature of home fitness, be sure to make a schedule for which you plan to do and strike out each workout. Of course, to abide by discipline in this case will be much more complicated, the willpower will need and the desire to change your life for the better. But after a few weeks, a healthy lifestyle will firmly enter the habit.

Failures stimulate and temper the character

The absence of an expected result is not a reason to lower your hands. For some people, failures serve as an additional incentive in working on themselves. According to psychologists, you need to morally be ready for such a turn. It is known that the correct response to errors or misses makes us stronger and stubborn in achieving the goals. In case of unsuccessful experience, it is worth reconsider training and nutrition plan. Perhaps the other physical exertion will be required. Also, a significant role is played by the regularity of classes. A healthy lifestyle does not imply a daily many hours of fitness. It is enough to engage in one hour three or four times a week to get tangible fruits of your work and confirm the simple truth that the new life begins at all from Monday, but from our consciousness and motivation.

Spirit Competition

Remember the student years. Surely, at the senior courses there was someone who had everything was easier, the estimates were better, and the girls woven around like crazy. Imagine that you are standing near, he is a little ahead, the muscles are still more than yours, but now you have every chance to lose his nose. Use its image as motivation, and you will succeed. If you were the most popular undergraduate, then imagine that you are going to show the class of Arni himself.

Weight visualization

Imagine that a loaded rod or a heavy dumbbell is he, she or something that he (her) belongs, well, for example, a beloved dog. Squeeze the weight with all the power of hate to which you are capable.

Remuneration for success

If you really worked well, no one has canceled the gingerbread method. Reward yourself for success with a new T-shirt or workout gloves. A new shaker, movie tickets, washing and polishing the car are also suitable as small presents. We recommend to refrain from alcohol libations and feasts in McDonalds.

Change menu

Monotonous useful and healthy food tires. Enter a couple of new dishes into your usual diet. No, we do not mean replace cottage cheese with cakes, but eat steak instead of pouring chicken breasts - easily. By the way, look in the Internet recipes, and chicken fillet can be prepared delicious.

Put small goals

Formulate for yourself the goal. But without a swing, for one or two workouts. Formulating, it is necessary to make sure that it is quite real. Of course, "reset 10 kg for 3 days" sounds attractive, but unrealistic. But "I want to increase strength" or even "see the cubes on to the summer" sounds more landing. If, of course, you did not wish "cubes" at the end of May on a beer stomach.

Listen to your favorite music

Choose the optimistic and drive songs and listen to them during training. If the comrades on the workshop do not share your musical tastes, acquire an MP3 player and listen to Rammstein or Robbie Williams in his pleasure, no one will tell you words. Meanwhile, the right playlist is greatly encouraging, distracting from fatigue.

Take your vacation

Every two months (8 weeks) you have a vacation. You can relax from workouts without a branch of conscience. It is necessary to refine: a week without cardio and without strength training. All you need is to rest morally and comply with the diet. Indeed, rest helps to gain strength and take care of workout with updated enthusiasm.

The ability of literally playing to squeeze the weight, which has recently seemed unbearable, significantly increases after these unspoic poverty.

Listen to the inner voice

Examine the old and effective saying of the experienced: "Will's power plus character ..." Continuation depends on the situation. Will's power is a very effective thing: you did not suspect what your inner "I" is capable of.

Train with partner

Firstly, it is more fun, secondly, there is someone to inspire a heavy barbell and at risk "come on time!" Thirdly, male solidarity in compliance with the diet and workout schedules either no one has canceled. Well, in general, two muscle mountains look more effectively than one.

Listen to the Soviets, share your experience, take the useful, remember the necessary information. Bodybuilders, despite their threatening appearance, the people sociable and love to discuss the latest news or visible on the Kachkov forums know-how.

Try to impress

You can repeat how the mantra, apart thirty times a day that you train exclusively for yourself, but the bad Bodybuilder, who would not like admiring glances. Therefore, the impressive: parents, her grandmother, beauties, no matter, it is great motivating not to throw sports.

Use pictures for motivation

A huge field for fantasy! If you have already grew out of the posters on the wall, then upload to the phone and put on a screensaver Cool photos: yourself under the winning light and in a successful posture, Ronnie Kolman, Terminator, or make a collage of all three.

Feel free to assist

Avoid routine

Rutin delays and plunges into despondency. From time to time, change the routine of the day, train in the morning, instead of the evening or vice versa. Make the press before training, and not after or vice versa. Do not forget about the vacation week (see paragraph 9)

In the modern world it is difficult to imagine an illiterate person, but thinking not like everything is much more difficult. Education has become available for everyone. We are taught under the carbon, give simple formulas that everyone should apply. You can be an erudite person, talking on a pattern, but do not be able to think on your own. The biography that I told today is the history of non-standard thinking, an internal rod, overcoming itself and circumstances. The story of one genius.

Children's years and family

July 30, 1863 Son Henry appeared in the family of prosperous farmers. He was the first child who survived after birth. Subsequently, he became eldest in the house of six children. The family lived in Michigan, which is not far from Detroit.

The boy studied in church school, with difficulty overcoming congenital dyslexia. Until the end of his days he wrote with mistakes, but it did not prevent him from thinking and thinking out of the chance.

Father considered Henry lazy for the fact that he did not want to work on the farm, like everything. The boy had ideas all the time, as you can facilitate work.

Mother always said that the son was born with a mechanic, because instead of toys in his pockets always lay tools.

If someone out of 6 children gave a mechanical toy, the guys hid it from Henry, knowing that he would discern a thing into small details.

The boy had a strong spiritual connection with his mother, her death greatly influenced the child's consciousness - the desire to stay live and work on the farm finally disappeared, he was 12 years old.

At the age of 13, his father gave the son of his son, not even guessing that this small thing would bring the little mechanic to a dream even more. The future genius of the automotive could not just look at them - he was wondering how they work, he could easily disassemble them into small details and just gathered back. Two years old, as the entire district found out about the talent of the younger Ford.

Great influence on the future interests Henry caused a trip to Detroit, where for the first time in 12 years he saw a locomobile moving through the motor account. It was then that the boy decided that it would be inventing a safe and affordable vehicle, radically different from the carriage with horses.

So it happened, the young mechanic constantly worked in his workshop than caused the disapproval of his father. And at the age of 15 invented his first engine.

The beginning of the Great

At 16, Ford moves to Detroit and comes with a student in a shipbuilding company.

After 4 years, Henry returns to the Father's farm, having a specialty mechanic. At home, he worked in various auto repair shops and automotive companies over the repair of steam engines, at night, worries in the jewelry store by a watchmaker.

The boy always wanted to relieve work on the farm, it was the fog of it to the invention of thunder-operating gasoline. Soon, Patent for this equipment bought Thomas Edison.

It was the determining point, already in 1891, Ford moved to live in Detroit for work engineer-mechanic in Thomas Edison. By this time, Henry managed to acquire his family, his wife became the daughter of Farmer Clara Bright, with whom he happily lived all his life. In his free time, Ford was engaged in a dream - invention of an internal combustion engine.

The company's management was negatively configured to his obsessed ideas. But already in 1896, the genius of the mechanics gathered his first Ford Quadricycle. For advertising of its miracle, Ford technique often traveled through the streets of the city, attracting the attention of future customers, but he was taken for obsessed.

Henry did not give up, becoming one of the founders of the Detroit Automobile Company in 1899. Soon she went bankrupt and closed due to financial insolvency.

But it did not stop the genius of mechanics, which stubbornly moved to the goal, counting only a step up.

Creating Ford Motor

After the victory in the race, investors and customers reached for Ford. In 1902, he bases the company named after himself "Ford Motor". The main idea of \u200b\u200bHenry remains unchanged - make a car an affordable means of movement. At that time it was unthinkable, the same thing that was now flying to Mars for everyone.

The designer continued to work on the simplification of the mechanism of creating a car, soon starting the use of the conveyor line. It was a breakthrough in technology, which significantly reduced the process of production.

But Henry understood that the quality of the car depends on the people who produce them, so created all the conditions for the work of their employees: the rate is twice as high as competitors, reduced the working day to 8 hours, used three working shifts.

In 1903, Ford Motor received a lawsuit from the Association of automakers, which claimed a monopoly in this industry. J. B. Selden patented a paper project of the car and threatened to all buyers of the Ford Motor brand by bringing to the court for violation of its copyright.

The common cause has been launched from 1903 to 1911. Here, Henry has established himself as a fighter for consumer rights, promising protection to each of its client. Not the first time, but Ford won the case!

Legendary "Ford-T"

In 1908, Ford Motors in 1908 brought the development of the Ford-T car: a comfortable, practical, with a simple finish. The model is simple in management, available not only to the riches, but also the middle class. Its price on the market was $ 950 and used such unprecedented demand among consumers that the reception of orders had to be suspended.

By 1910, a new modernized plant "Haylend Park" was opened: new assembly production was introduced, the ventilation system appeared, the lighting is improved. Using the assembly conveyor reduced the production of one car from 12 to 2 hours! This contributed to a decrease in price to $ 290 per car. It was this model that was 10% of sales of all cars in the world.

Owner of factories, newspapers and steamers

In order not to depend on the external economic situation in the country, the owner of factories, newspapers and steamers invest in the production of mines, coal, other factories. It seeks that at its disposal there is everything you need to create cars.

Henry saw the essence of money not in the money themselves, but in the ability to open. He did not have the goal of accumulation, he was more interested in the opportunity to embody his childhood dream into reality.

Secrets of control

In their companies, the car king created new personnel management and motivation systems:

• increased labor payment up to $ 5 per day;
• reduced working hours from 9 hours to 8 hours by setting around the clock sewan;
• introduced one day off, later made 2 days off;
• introduced paid vacation once a year;
• provided medical insurance;
• he built inexpensive accommodation for workers, which provided them with installments.

Thousands of people stretched to him. Ford watched the discipline hard. His staff had to lead the right way of life. The worker who spent money did not on the family, but on alcohol and entertainment put a trial period if he was not corrected, followed by dismissal.

The personnel followed the whole department of 60 people: they conducted sociological records, visited the workers' apartments, surveys conducted.

Even having a large staff of Henry managers used a dictatorial control style, solving independently all strategic questions.

On the verge of bankruptcy

In the first world war, industrial magnate plants have been transferred to the production of military equipment, gas masks, casak. This caused approval from the inhabitants of America.

But Ford did not want to earn money on blood, so after the end of hostilities, the production of cars returned to the conveyor.

The inventor thought that the consumer, bothering times, would always be devoted to the brand.

But by 1927, Ford-T sales declined to such a level that the company was on the verge of ruin. The entrepreneur had to suspend the work of the factories and dissolve the workers. He did not surrender, but I was looking for the way to solve the crisis situation. Together with her son Ersel, Henry engaged in the development of a new type of car. In the same year, "Ford A" was presented.

The model was superior to car competitors for technical equipment and unique design. Ford again came out the winner, returning leadership positions.

In 1929, the Great Depression began in the United States, for another two years, Ford's corporation stood sustainably on their feet, but in 1931 he began to pass his position in 1931.

Industrial magnate again had to close part of the factories, and the rest of the salary. The workers were extremely unhappy with the events, rebellion began. The most significant riot occurred near the Rouge plant: the police were able to disperse people, only applying weapons.

And in this situation, the genius did not give up. His analytical mind found a solution in the invention of the new Ford V8 sports car, which accelerates to 130 km per hour!

Thanks to this decision, the entrepreneur plants again increased the volume of production and overcame a decline in sales.

Sunset of Life

In 1945, for the rise of the industry and the road in the world, Ford was awarded the Elliot Creson medal (the prize is intended for outstanding technical inventions).

Back in the 30s, the son of Ercel Braint was standing at the head of the Ford Motor. But after his death from cancer in 1943, Henry had to take the board to their hands again. Advanced age, health problems did not allow to conduct business at the same level. Then in 1945 Ford Sr. reports to William's management.

The entrepreneur spent the last days in his home in Dirborn. On April 7, 1947, he died from hemorrhage to the brain, he was 83 years old.

Heritage

The biography of the Great Industrialist is interested in readers to this day. Henry was not just a great inventor, but also an outstanding manager. His management methods at the enterprise became the basis for the defendant of modern companies.

One of the most famous books of Ford "My life, my achievements" is popular and in our time. The publication is narrated not only about the great victories of the entrepreneur. From it, you can learn the methods of organizing production, personnel policies, management models.

Genius Mechanics left behind a family business that flourishing these days. This is one of the few companies in the management of which, exclusively the heirs of Ford are involved. The family owns 40% of the company's shares, the rest in free circulation.

Nowadays, Ford Motor ranks 4th in the world in terms of car release. The company continues to develop, the number of factories increases annually.

Market capitalization in 2019 is 34 687 287 296 $
