Your Job IS NOT To Motivate People | Jordan Peterson Explains The Path of Genuine Leadership

Nice Video

Words to live by:
If you're going be effective at work, then you should, first of all, be effective in your life."

JP is a great motivation and he is my real life manifestation of intelligence combined with courage. But this time, I have to beg to differ. I do everything I can to lead in the way JP is advocating here. Honestly, this style needs a well oiled system to monitor and manage people, the authoritarian machinery. A real business organization simply does not work with being a philosophical leader only.

Link the original video please.

Lead them to know themselves and that requires the criteria

What the speaker says applies only to a very narrow part of the spectrum of jobs and organizations.

Pass a story over from someone that shocked that they did it for nothing. A complete stranger helped you when everyone else was blind.

Anyone know the original source/video? Thanks in advance.

Nice clip for some people.

Sir G jis islami country ki story app suna rahe hain waha Islam k nam leva zaroor hain magar islami banda koi nh, islamic philosophy ko understand karne or nafiz karne wala. koi leader aya he nh,..

My summary of Jordan Peterson explaining the path of genuine leadership:

A leader is someone who knows where he or she is going.

You can’t lead unless you have a destination.

If you have a destination, that implies that you have an ethic, and hopefully, you can communicate your destination with a story.

You shouldn’t want to motivate people. You should figure out something worth doing, something you would commit a substantial portion of your life to, something you have profound reasons for pursuing.

Once you have established your identity as a leader, you should communicate that in a manner that appeals to a people’s sense of purpose.

If you wanted to move forward with someone on an enterprise, you would:
1. Explain the purpose of the Enterprise.
2. Explain why it’s justifiable and more justifiable than anything else you could do simultaneously.
3. Explain what’s in it for you and what’s in it for them, how you could further the enterprise, and what’s in it for both of you.

Jean Piaget, the developmental psychologist, called this an Equilibrated State. A situation set up by two or more people where everyone is participating in the state voluntarily. He derived this notion partly by looking at how children set up games. If children are going to set up a pretend game, they negotiate a little narrative and generate the play by assigning everyone their parts, then manifest the play. That’s how they think. But everyone has to accept their part voluntarily, or the game won’t continue.

Piaget’s ethical analytic claim was that a game that everyone played voluntarily was more sustainable and productive than one that people were forced to play. For Piaget, this became a fundamental distinction between the utility of freedom and tyranny.

Some people would say that the authoritarians win. That was seen as a way of organizing a society. Piaget claimed that the authoritarian enforcement costs were so high that the free society would out-compete the authoritarian society over time.

Now, if you’re going to set up an organization, you can set it up on authoritarian lines. But then, you’re compelling people to perform with punishment and fear when motivating them positively is better.

If you can tell someone what their role is and how fulfilling that role will add to their life, practically speaking and in terms of significant engagement and involvement, and keep in mind certain preconditions should be in place. With competence and a certain amount of conscientiousness, these people will participate in the game voluntarily, and there’s no need to micromanage them. If you have any experience relative to complex processes, you know those are the optimal circumstances to engage with others.

This is saying that you’re all in the same boat going somewhere exciting, and everyone’s got a role to play. You’re all in this together, and it’s working out for each of you.

Let’s say you have your organization and goals, you’re out to do something worthwhile, and you can tell a good story about that. You’ve got people on board; it’s time to get productive. You’ve got two choices. You could tell people to go home and spend four or five hours formulating a career plan to contribute to the organization, or you could say, go home and formulate a plan for your life that includes your job at this organization as a subset. If you do that with people and run those people in a head-to-head competition for a year to see who is most productive, the answer is that the people who formulated the plans for their lives are 10% more productive. This implies that you can gain a 10% increase corporate-level productivity by having your people write a plan for their lives.

You want your employees to be doing something useful with their lives, to have something they’re engaged in, because if they can’t do that for their life, what makes you think they’re going to do that for your organization?

You want them to see how working for you serves their higher-order purpose. And if it doesn’t, because maybe they can’t formulate that integrated hierarchical relationship well, they should find another job because that isn’t the job for them. If their job is running at cross purposes with their life, how will they be motivated?

Imagine you’re trying to get everyone pointing in the same direction, not by eliminating all diversity of opinion but by ensuring that the overall organization has a point and everyone within the organization has their point. Still, they’re integrated within the overarching coherent narrative. That’s the purpose of leadership. To make that work at every level of the organization is what you want to do. It’s challenging, but you will build the best organization that way.

Companies often produce mission statements as a side effect of a bunch of other things it’s doing, and that doesn’t work. It means that it is mostly hand waving, which makes employees very cynical. That’s the case at the upper echelons of complex organizations. The people running the organizations have to know what they’re doing and why. And that maximizing profit in the next quarter so that their bonuses are more significant is not a good strategy.

Words like vision and leadership - you can drill down and start to make some sense of them if you’re willing to grapple with them at a certain level of detail. A large part of the meaning of those words has to do with orienting yourself in your life.

Have your employees write out a business plan for their development. If half of them wrote how they could become a better employee, and the other half wrote how they could put their life together correctly, wait a year and measure the performance of the two groups. The people who make the life plan should outperform those who make the business plan. This means that if you’re going to be effective at work, you should be effective in your life, and more importantly, you should have a vision for the direction of your life and understand that your job is serving that purpose. Instantly your job will become more motivating.

People are motivated when undertaking an act associated with the desired goal. Our understanding of that psychologically is profound. We know the circuitry, we know that neurochemicals are involved, and we know the neurophysiology. There isn’t any positive emotion without a forward movement toward the desired goal, and there isn’t any motivation without that positive emotion.

When words like leadership and vision become these impractical, metaphysical concepts that are only vaguely related to the practicalities of performance, that’s wrong. The true meaning of these words should be vital and definable to all leaders.

The teacher

Ive said this from the very beginning. It's so very true .

The day i left my mind numbing, soul crushing job of 20+ years still ranks in the top 5 of the best days of my life.

The leaders most important friend is the first follower. He is the one that motivates others to follow.

👍

hahaha it is crazy how we believe that our brain works like our leaders hope it does: as some kind of a goal and role oriented device. When was your last goal being set? When did you use your brain the last time? For what did you use it? Right...

True leaders are extremely rare.

Boeing should listen to this

So if leadership is getting others to see their faults and willingly change them: how do you get people to understand that their fault is that none of them want to be led? It would seem these days everyone thinks they have the answers to life, which in my opinion is one of the main reasons the world is so jacked up. How does one get everybody else on the same page, when the biggest roadblock to society is that people want to skim through knowledge rather than absorb it in its entirety, then pick and choose what they adhere to. How do we bring society back to a social state where adults know who to listen to and trust, kids listen to the adults while trying to better themselves rather than simply existing and gobbling up all the pop culture filth their little brains can absorb. If everything seems to boil down to right or wrong, left or right, yes or no, up or down; how do you get the world to agree long enough for peace to appear on the horizon?

These videos do not need music.

Peterson--leader with excellence

Background music--- Marxism

Every now and then someone uncovers something that you haven't previously seen or comprehended, yet it was right in front of you in plain sight. Honestly, this is one of those times - what leadership actually is.

Sometimes I switch on a Jordan Perterson video only to hear his voice for it to comfort me and calm me down in this world of chaos.

I'm not worshipping the man, but he makes so much sense I don't know HOW people could disagree with his words. But I'm curious. So for the interest of my mental development, does anyone have any criticisms they'd like to share? No bashing. Something constructive or move along.

Won't happen, but it would be so beneficial to run an experiment of like companies in the same industry with one running what Peterson is advocating here versus one running the anti-human woke theology and see the results.

The goal discussed will help or hurt depending on its truth.

This is my life right now I’ve been watching you and listening for the past couple weeks and gave me motivation to quit my job and then quit two more jobs just getting more comfortable going on interviews and searching for what I’m worth daily and what will make me happy and providing for my family I just wanted to say that I love and appreciate inspirational speeches that you do

Read about King Solomon ,, Giulius Caesar , Guy Mario, Napoleon, et cet . Hannibal. Joshua

How does one propel others to a goal that cannot be imagined?

The pied piper .......be so careful of his rhetoric.

I would like to add this belief to my CV/Resumé...this lesson is what I believe in!!!

He has explained the aim of stating an aim and purpose. And the purpose of stating an aim and purpose.

Love you Jordan.

JP v George Carlin in a cage match I’m putting my money on Carlin!!!’Funny JP loves to talk about dangerous men I bet he fights like a bitch. By the look of his physique he’s never lifted any plates

His daughter took over his leadership role when he mentally crumbled when his family needed him the most (wife became ill). Sweet guy but can't be trusted to remain mentally strong during crisis.

My husband was upper management for Oil & Gas/ Halliburton for over 30 yrs/ Aramco last 6 yrs. He retired and now teaches Mathematics. He comes home exhausted because he has a degree in teaching but never used it until now in his late years. The kids enjoy his sense of humor. He has traveled the world and lived in other countries so the kids enjoy his stories. He does encourage them to have goals. Thank you, Jordan. ✝️❤️

KING JESUS CHRIST is returning. Repent of your sins 🌈🙏.

Welcome to fairytale land. No matter how much you try be a fair and just leader It's all about doing what ever it takes to lie, cheat, steal, and eliminate your competitors. Because "money " is the ultimate end to the means. A true leader is a person that cares about getting people to work together in order to establish a product or service that is beneficial to the well being of everyone. Worker and customer.(money excluded)

Lol so god is a terrible leader, okay

dont listen to this fool
listen to peter joseph

"..that's my job!" - Dr. Jordan Peterson

Now apply this thinking to the current pandemic and understand why people are resistant to vaccines. He's nailing this truth, so much of life seems to be what's in it for _us_, and not you or me.

U have been influencing all the way

You know. I glad to hear you're studies.

What does it even mean to be productive? I don't share the same goals as the rest of the world, and many of my goals the world does not share. Without motivation, without something to attain or strive towards, there is no ability to be productive, there is no movement toward a goal if there is no goal. Counterproductive and productive action are the same with no goal, they are meaningless and all behavior is that with no goal. Society took away the goalpost for me, so now the fill in is watching society burn and whither, which is my new goal not because I chose that but society chose it for me by taking away my other goals.

What is productive for many is now counterproductive for me and visa versa. I see now that many don't have anything left to teach me.

Well, I inadvertently solved two problems at once by watching this video. One with my leadership of others, and another related to explaining the soundness of a government structure which simply failed to lead the people properly.

You are always speaking to me JP.
Thank you for existing.
Thank you for being you.
It's really helping me find me.
And I am sure there a millions of others like me.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
