Motivated To Update

Old habits die hard for established workforces

- Juanita Vorster

When a new era dawns in any organisation, the strategy is usually to turn towards motivational techniques to effect changes. This is, however, exactly what prevents most organisations from changing effectively, says Juanita Vorster, a professional speaker on the topic of change and success in a disruptive world.

“While traditional motivational activities work very well for creating shared intentions – usually based on hope, fear or peer pressure – real change only happens through sustained and disciplined action,” she explains.

According to Vorster, the missing link between intent and action for change is the skill to change one’s own behaviour.
