Top 5 MUST-DO Elements of Inspiration
Posted on November 5th, 2009 by admin
If you didn’t read the introduction to this message, read about the differences between motivation and inspiration here.
If inspiration is so important, why do most leaders struggle to inspire effectively? I believe it’s simply that we haven’t been trained effectively, nor have we seen it modeled effectively. It’s not like there is an inspiration class in college is there 
?
To inspire your poeple to new heights, consistently do the following:
- Paint a clear picture of how life will be once the goal is achieved
- Communicate YOUR committment to achieving the goal
- Communicate what it will take to make the dream possible
- Explain what will happen if the goal is not achieved
- Emotionally and passionately express how important THEY are and how THEY are crucial to reaching the goal

Excellent, I wholeheartedly agree. It’s interesting, actually, how powerful these simple steps are. Car dealerships have integrated these steps into their entire showroom/sales process.
I recently described the phenomenon here: http://life-engineering.com/what-dealerships-know-about-motivation/
Although I call it motivation (motivation to purchase), as you suggest, it really is inspiration. They inspire you to a lifestyle, which they associate with car ownership. Fascinating.
Thanks for sharing.
