- We should not assume that a lack of motivation is an intrinsic problem. As leaders, we should first evaluate whether or not we've created an environment that inspires our employees. In order to spark motivation, people must feel seen and valued.

Title: How to motivate the unmotivated.
0:00 "I don't think you can motivate the unmotivated."
You can’t
You can definitely unmotivate the motivated. When I put so much time and effort into the role, we all built a great relationship with employees and hit our targets and beyond, constantly. We were met with decreased hours (meaning less pay) no payrise for me for 5 years, even though I have asked for it, but everyone in my charge suddenly gets paid more than me.... Like what the hell?
Not to be jelous of them. They deserve the pay increase. So I handed in my resignation and only then they offered to pay me DOUBLE. Too late to save my motivation. I stayed and did the bare minimum for a year, then moved to a less paying job which I can now stay motivated in with the fairness throughout the company. Wonderful place.
It's more about getting those who are asking this question to click the video, instead of answering the question.
I barely feel interested enough to comment.
If all bosses are like you, we will love our job.
Be the boss yourself and be like him ☺️
❤️
Absolutely true
Nah, he cuts in line
What company that he lead?
That’s so true. “When you think about changing someone’s life, think about how hard it was to change your life” they have to want to change
It's not your job to "change" anyone but your own life. Stop trying to be a PARENT. Be a boss, Be a Leader. Leaders inspire, as Simon Says, I'm honestly shocked by this video
Motivation is like drinking alcohol or smoking a cigarette, you feel high and feel like doing anything and taking any challenge. But when the high ends, a small failure feels like your life has no meaning again. Slow and steady wins the race
I always say "motivation gets you started, determination wins the race".
i feel the same way, except this is how i define inspiration. motivation is like a supreme why, it's like a real reason to do something that drives you no matter what. inspiration is just like that fleeting feeling you get like you're ready to conquer anything and then you wake up the next morning and feel like shit again.

You can't motivate people. You can only inspire them and provide an environment where they can thrive. Well said, Simon!
Loving yourself is vital for your happiness and well being then you can spread that love to others. Positive vibes to everyone ❤️🙏😁.
Very true!
You are a reasonable man with a good heart, God bless you

Have a Nice Day! 🖤
I wish to talk with you over a cup of coffee someday. It's one of the things I dream of.
😂
I’d like to join
You got 500k per hour?
@@janbinas8602 I got 500k Iranial Rials. Let’s do this
@@raghurrai - Hope you have another 500k for me 😁
That environment that Simon is mentioning, is EXACTLY where I wish to be in someday...
But then again, maybe I have a higher purpose 🙏😏
Remember that God is making a plan for you and you just need to believe in him, God is preparing for you a better place and boy you will be happy soon! :)
You bet! Believe that and live as if you do have a higher purpose. 👍
Don't wish it, WILL IT. Most of the companies that people are working for today will be out of business by 2030.
Dear Simon,
As a teacher, that's what I've been trying to do and to say to everyone around me (students and no only students)! To add one more "term" to what you so brilliantly put, I would say "Sense of Belonging". You're great and truly an inspiration to us all! Keep making our lives better. I hope someday I'll do the same for you!
Having the same problem as a teacher. I don't know what to do with students who don't want to speak, or participate or who don't care about the subject. I prepare games, i prepare presentations for the grammatical topics so they could understand better. I use music and videos, i do not scream at them, i am not a screaming person) but still nothing. And everybody says i should find a special approach to each student. Wtf! How is that even possible and what about my sanity?!)) I wish i could be inspirational teacher like in the movies, but i can't. If a student doesn't want to learn, i don't think there is anything i could do to help.
@@aidakalybaeva758 If you take a step back and read your comment, you will understand what is going on..
I lead a team of my own and it’s very similar in our situation. To lead people you don’t need to motivate them as Simon puts it, you inspire.
I will spend my time to also get to know the individuals that I work with. Not just as a courtesy but to really understand them and to build the bond/trust.
Have you ever ask yourself what do those kids want to do or learn because all you said was what you’ve done and what you think is interesting? Let them have a voice in say perhaps?
Also what is the expectation? You try something and it failed. Maybe your expectations are too high? Remember that they are not you. Kids don’t understand the world as we do and if you really care as a teacher, you won’t give up
Disclaimer: i’m no expert in the subject matter. I have 2 boys of my own and a team that i lead. i’m only a leader who seeks to inspire and also always trying to learn
How naturally you shared this information, like no show off, not looking at the camera, cleaning your glasses, down to earth ❤️, no worry about what some people might think about it, just natural and honest! And true , thank you 😊
I saw it and my impression was "really? Take a moment to get ready before pressing the 'record' button, please." Natural, yes, but it's distracting.
❤ he's real 🙌
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Well said. ❤
Totally agree! It's about creating the environment (physical, resources, people, practices, etc) in which they are able to self motivate. A good leader will find out what each person needs and facilitate this for them.
Its like you read my current situation. Thank you. Empathy in stewardship is like a mandatory value/skill.
Shift your view and words and its amazing the wonderful things that can happen and be achieved.
Love your stuff Simon...thank you for making me a better father.
I've tried to tell my bosses a million times. 5 seconds of praise will generate infinitely more motivation than 30 minutes of "do it or else" pressure. Every leader should HAVE to read How to win friends and influence people because it just great life-applicable advice. "Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be "hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise." - Dale Carnegie
I had a boss once that when I screwed up or my team screwed up. We would have a meeting and instead of getting reamed out, we put the error aside and collectively brainstormed how to avoid it in the future. Being included in preventing the mistake in the future instead of being reprimanded changed the entire dynamic. We felt like part of the team instead of just employees. We walked out of the office feeling empowered and ready to face the challenges in front of us.
pathetic that you're motivated by kind words and posters. guess you won't need that raise next year.
I agree with you Galaxy.
It makes work alot more enjoyable.
For 30 years I thought, it wasn't about the money. But then one day I woke up and learned my lesson. It's actually all about the money and money is the most important thing. In fact I can prove it to anyone including God.
It would be wonderful if all leaders felt motivated to inspire others around them. Sometimes the desire to see that the business does well and that the customers return, are the main factors that drive leaders to antagonize their most valuable asset, their employees. You're so right that taking responsibility for having unmotivated persons on the team is the first step to recognizing that they have the power to encourage the team along or help them to become better employees, so that when they leave, they are equipped with all they need to give of their best somewhere else.
You are such a beautiful soul Mr Sinek 💘. God bless you to inspire on that greatness you always do. 🙏You have beautiful eyes too. (Smiles). 💘💘
The unmotivated are usually limited in some way. It can emotional, skills, circumstances or any number of reasons. Hopefully, the best solution is being able to support them in the role taking steps to try to resolve some of those reasons inhibiting them.
Don’t get unmotivated confused with not caring. I would rather work with someone I have to inspire than with someone who does not care about the job.
People care. Don't get yourself confused. We need to stop Judging others. We do not understand other people as much as we would like to think.
Thank you Simon for this !!! I love it !
Thank you for this, I certainly needed to hear this.
Thank you, Simon.
Simon is so awesome and great to listen to 🙂
So true ! "Motivation" is a tough one ..
This was great. Thank you Simon
I am reading " start with why" and it has become one of my favourit books
Such a strong but simple message, thanks!
Long live Great Simon 🇹🇿🙏
'What are the 20 other things it could be before we call them unmotivated?'
From an education background, they usually give us Maslow's hierarchy of needs. When basic needs are met, people can turn to self actualisation. But if you have students with physical needs, safety needs, or needs for belonging not being met, it overrides their ability to focus or care about other things.
Another way to look at it is everyone is motivated, but towards different things. If I can understand what I am motivated to do and apply that knowledge of myself to areas where I am unmotivated, it can help. I think the work needs to be a way of living out a positive identity that I am congruent with.
As a business graduate and manager you can motivate people - Step 1 Remove what is demotivating them, Step 2 Add whats aligned with their dreams and objectives.
When it comes to removing what demotivates them in almost all cases its crappy managers or the fallout from them.
I used to be That one with the Vision who inspired my peers and fought for them. I suffered a lot, I tried it once and again and again. Then, I understood that not every group of people is meant to be a Team. I understood their pain and their reasons to leave. Now, I also want to leave.
Thanks a lot Simon
This is what I keep telling to the people under my care:
1. What's your career goal? I'll help you achieve it even if your goal is to get out of this company in the future. Let's work on your skills to achieve that goal.
2. You might be in a job you don't like but you can use that to achieve your dream job. Let's work together.
We have weekly meetings discussing our Lessons, Achievements, Goals, and Struggles -- these are outside of company tasks.
We talk about personal finance, personal development, books we read, and etc.
I'm still constantly searching for ways to improve our team.
The key is to keep in mind that they are human beings not chessboard pieces.
I love this! And a lot of us are more motivated when we can have more responsibility and contribute thoughts of our own.
Yeah. After all, leadership is about giving impact. If they can trust you of their future, the by-product of that is a good work environment and productivity.
Great advice thank you Simon ❤
Thanks a lot. Have a nice and valuable day
Thank you for the tips!
Great Explanation. Concise and clear.
Beautiful art in the background
1:18 Exactly how the Empire operates in Star Wars. And we all know what a nice work environment that turned out to be
Excellent, thank you!
i hope if you ever read this, you've helped me more than youll ever know, thank you!
I've been extremely motivated most of my life, but at this point with the pandemic and everything I've noticed I'm just at a low motivation point. It isn't inherently the person, the environment and situation matters a great deal as well.
Thanks Simon
Really love it Simon....
They like where they are. Great.
every workspace needs a Simon Sinek, whats job description: be Simon Sinek
Well spoken!
I had a boss like you once. I was willing to relocate to a new state, to continue working for him
You absolutely can facilitate motivation. Lots of research out there.
Thanks for the video. Motivating the unmotivated can be a challenge, but it starts with understanding their underlying needs and desires. Focus on creating a sense of purpose, meaning, and autonomy in their work. Set clear expectations, provide regular feedback and recognition, and offer growth and development opportunities. Cultivate a supportive environment that encourages collaboration, experimentation, and learning from mistakes.
Finally, lead by example and demonstrate a positive attitude and work ethic. Remember, motivation comes from within, but as a leader, you can create the conditions that help people tap into their own intrinsic motivation.
"Focus on creating a sense of purpose, meaning, and autonomy in their work".. 100%.. this flew out the door for me working in the healthcare sector during Covid.. I was already halfway burned out from the workload and dead-end career (IT in public sector..) and Covid and the countless pointless regulations and behavioral changes it mandated killed all purpose and autonomy in that career for me.. not to mention the toxic, bullying, backstabbing bitches (males!)
I'm now working outside with my hands for the first time in my life (a close friend's business) and I've never been more at peace with my place in the world..
Very well said
Thank you for this video
This was really informative, thank you so much!
Good message!
Excellent!
Those who can do, those who can't talk about it -like Simon.
Powerful✌
It's amazing.
I wish I could have a leader like you. Im feeling very unmotivated right now 😞
"Can you motivate the unmotivated" would be a better suited title. Very interesting video none the less, thank you for sharing this with the public.
Great thought
👍🏼This how a leader should think and act
Best Quote, as you start to workout on the way, the way appears.
Mincing words here (I totally agree in what’s being said in the video):
I do like to add that “give them a sense of purpose” or “make them feel heard” still comes across as hollow. In my opinion you should not need to “give them a sense”, but truly “give them”. And instead of “make them feel heard”, truly “hear them”.
When it’s coming to artificially setting processes in place in a company culture that isn’t mature or ready enough to support those, the problems lie deeper and it’s up to management to fix those and start with the root.
Employees will eventually come to the conclusion that it’s just a thin layer of shiny chrome on a rusty vehicle otherwise.
Communication is the key 👌
ITS fine to be unmotivated sometimes,its fine to cry sometimes, Its totally fine..be yourself..
There is no need to be a boss to inspire people. All of us have responsibility to help our fellow employees, to be kind with them to encourage them etc. It is nice to see that they respond positively. It gives us the feeling that we have done something great. That is why it is always worth to try.
Dear Simon,
I read Leaders Eat Last, Start With Why, Together Is Better and Find Your Why with great joy and excitement. In terms of the topic you talk about in this video I have a question that's bothering me for a long time now:
Do you have any advice for leaders that aren't able to hire and choose their team members themselves? For example: you write about the military here and there, where this is exactly the case. I'm sure you have some valuable advice for that!
Wow this is the best one
This is one of the best videos I'd ever seen in my life

YOU CAN KILL MOTIVATION
I was motivated. Highly motivated.
They took my motivation.
Rapidly our team's productivity dropped. Other loosed their motivation because they see what the company did to me, who always had a dozen plan for any station.
Wow this is 100% correct
Absolutely unbelievable TRUTH coming from a man is RARE. TY.
I feel so seen and heard
Empathy is key.
Thanks
So how do we give people the sense of cause and vision, how do we make people that they matter and that they are seen and heard, and that their work is something worth more?
LL.. I am in the Army and trust me when I say we will motivate you.
I've found my motivation comes from three key sources:
(a) Is the business involved in something I consider worthwhile?
(b) Am I doing work that is interesting and challenging in the right ways (e.g. in terms of workload and not politics)?
(c) Am I being treated fairly, respectfully in substance rather than language, and as a partner rather than tool?
It's a wonderful recipes special way to motivate and inspire people

This is an awesome take on motivation Simon! A good leader takes into account all the reasons an employee may not be "motivated". More importantly, they take responsibility !! Great video, can't wait to watch more.
Very informative and great videos you have over on your channel!
It is amazing how many have excuses who find no opportunities, while those who work at doing something to improve find opportunities all around.
It’s amazing how this guy manages to speak for 3 minutes without actually saying anything. A true talent.
@@neb4587 it is amazing how few business actually know where they are goibg and have a plan to get there.
YOU hired them! Facts.
This video was more soothing then any religious gospel or teaching god damn.
I really think that Everytime that I see one of your posts in all social media I learned something new... Have a new perspective.. thank you!
Yes 👏
🙋So good!!!

Bingo!
Sir how have you developed your wisdom and skills over the years...?can you share some ways maybe through a video?
The comment section is wholesome. UwU
One of the easier things you can do to like your job/workplace is woking at a smaller company where you just cannot be a number and your boss has time to talk with you
i laughed my ass off when i clicked the video and he instantly said "i don't think you can motivate the unmotivated" i was like *dam just gave up in the first 2 seconds lmao* in all seriousness great video
I wish people would understand this.
Holistic view. 🌌
What would be helpful is a definition of the word motivated...or how does "motivated" look, particularly in a work environment/setting? If the acceptable definition includes the act of being driven, ambitious, taking the initiative to accomplish set goals (whether team oriented or personal) and doing all of the above with excellence...then I believe many employees (particularly new-hires) exhibit these behaviors, but motivation can oftentimes be diffused by toxic forces (whether internal to the organization or external to the organization) beyond an employees control.
My recommendation, as referenced by Simon, would require a holistic understanding of the dynamics at play; especially pertaining to a work setting and this may take some time.
Once both time and understanding have synced; I believe decisions can be made on how best to move forward with the situation (i.e. transition of responsibilities; transition of role; or otherwise).
yes
Hi simon we have some ongoing project need help to take them to next level any help or recommendation will be highly appreciated thanks
