How to Inspire People
Adapted from The Economist
Motivational quotes. Videos of Steve Jobs saying absolutely anything. You do not have to scroll for long on LinkedIn, a networking site ostensibly for people at work, to find “inspirational” content.
返回导航
But much more practical insights can be found in a forthcoming book called Inspire, by Adam Galinsky, an academic at Columbia Business School. Take, for example, the importance of vivid imagery as a way of bringing an organisation's purpose to life.
Lots of firms use a succession of tediously abstract words to convey their goal:“change”, “innovate”, “connect” and so on. The result is less a mission than a mood board.
返回导航
Mr. Galinsky cites an experiment that showed the effect of more concrete language. In it, teams were asked to design toys and given a vision statement to guide their behaviour.
Teams who were handed a statement with more visual language—to create toys that “...make wide-eyed kids laugh and proud parents smile”—produced more engaging toys than teams who were given something more generic.
返回导航
Mr. Galinsky also points to the power of counterfactual thinking to inspire a sense of meaning. In research he conducted with Laura Kray of the University of California, Berkeley and other co-authors, participants were asked to reflect on important events in their lives, such as their choice of college.
返回导航
Some were also asked to think about how things would have turned out if this event had not taken place. This group attributed greater meaning to the event in question, whether because they concluded fate had played a part in it or because it forced them to think through its consequences more explicitly.
返回导航
This type of counterfactual thinking can also be used to strengthen employees' ties to firms: prompting people to imagine a world in which their company does not exist seems to increase a sense of attachment.
Perhaps the most striking idea in Mr. Galinsky's book is that, instead of bosses motivating people from above, individuals can do it for themselves. One example is a piece of research he conducted with Julian Pfrombeck from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and other co-authors.
返回导航
In this study some Swiss citizens who had newly registered with a government employment agency were asked to undertake a 10-to 15-minute exercise in which they reflected on values that mattered to them. They were three times more likely to find a job than those who did not do the exercise.
Managers play a huge role in motivating their people. But inspiration can be bottom-up as well as top-down. Don't just tell your team what Jobs said. Ask why their jobs matter to them.

The Friendly Robin
Excerpt from The Secret Garden
孤僻的小女孩玛丽、农家小子迪肯和体弱的少爷柯林成
了好朋友,他们找到了秘密花园的钥匙,和花园一起经历了
诗意般的复活。
返回导航
Mary couldn't stop thinking① about the secret garden. “What would it look like?” she wondered.“Would it still have flowers? Or would everything have died?”
“I think I shall go out,” she told Martha.
“Very good, Miss,” Martha said and led Mary out of the house. Martha pointed towards a pathway② opposite③ the door. “Head that way, keep going and you'll be fine.”
返回导航
Mary walked along the pathway until she came to huge gardens with wide lawns④ and winding⑤ walks. There was a large pool with a fountain (喷泉) in the middle, but it was not working and the flowerbeds (花圃) around were bare⑥.
Mary looked around. Where could the locked-up garden be?
At the far end of the path she noticed a wall covered in ivy (常春藤). Perhaps it was there? She hurried⑦ across and saw a green door in the ivy but it was already open. She sighed with disappointment and went in anyway.
返回导航
She found herself in another garden⑧ with walls all round it. One walled garden opened into another and another. It was all a bit dull⑨ really, Mary thought. She kept walking until there were no more doors. How annoying⑩!
Strangely though, she could see the tops of trees above the wall at the far end of the orchard (果园) where she stood. She frowned⑪. How could there be trees but no door to them? Instead the ivy grew wild here, falling like a waterfall⑫ down to the ground.
返回导航
The sound of a bird broke into her thoughts. She looked up⑬. A robin was sitting on the top branches of one of the trees. It sang so beautifully and she was sure it was looking straight at her when it did so! For the first time in months, Mary felt happy.
She stood very still⑭, listening to its song until it finished and flew away. She gazed at⑮ the empty branch for a second and it suddenly occurred to her that⑯ the robin had sung to her from the locked secret garden.
返回导航
“It has to be,” she whispered⑰ to herself.
From that day on, Mary knew how to arrange⑱ her day. She would awake to the sound of Martha making the fire, dress herself and go outside. Every day she searched for⑲ the door to the secret garden but every day she came back disappointed.
返回导航
The days when she met the robin were the best time. She would run from one garden to the other, the wind in her face, her hair blowing everywhere⑳. The fresh air put colour in her cheeks and she grew stronger. “You look like a proper country girl now!” Martha would laugh as㉑ Mary asked for second helpings㉒ at lunchtimes.
返回导航
Sometimes it would rain and she had to stay indoors. She hated㉓ those days. She was so bored㉔. The only person she had to talk to was Martha but Martha could never stay long. Mrs. Medlock was always calling her away. It was so unfair㉕!
One morning Mary woke to find bright sunshine flooding㉖ her room. She dressed quickly and ran outside. Everything felt different. As she tripped㉗ along the paths leading to the kitchen gardens, she noticed they didn't seem so bare. Tiny green shoots㉘ were coming out of the soil.
返回导航
“What are they?” she asked a gardener Ben Weatherstaff. He stopped digging. “They are the spring flowers coming up.”
“When? Tomorrow?” Mary was used to the heat of India where flowers bloomed㉙ overnight㉚.
“Tomorrow? No! It'll be a few weeks at least. You'll have to watch and wait.”
返回导航
A cheerful sound attracted her. Mary looked and saw the robin flying overhead㉛. “Bye!” she called out to Ben and ran after the bird. It stopped by the garden at the far end of the orchard; the one with the trees over the wall. It hopped㉜ towards the wall and began pulling a fat, juicy worm from the soil.
返回导航
“What have you got there? Lunch?” she asked. Then something caught her eye. A rusty㉝ object㉞ was poking out of㉟ the soil. Mary leaned forward㊱ and pulled hard, her heart racing.
It was a key. A long, rusty key.
