Motivation Creation Method

• Express work in a Venn diagram of “want to do”, “be able to do”, and “should do”.

  • Cybozu calls this the “motivation creation method.
  • The concept of what it takes to be highly motivated and “enjoy working”.

• I want to, I can, I should.

  • Looking at the letter, it feels exactly the same as Recruitment Will Can Must.

  • The point that was so eye-opening to me while reading The Monster that is the Company is that it is you, not the company, who decides what you “should” do.

    • You decide what you need to do, not the company.

  • Example

    • 1: Company has a project that requires full commitment.
    • 2: At home, the wife needs to take maternity leave to support her during the upcoming birth.

  • These two “shoulds” cannot be reconciled, then selection is necessary

    • Choose for yourself what to do from among the things that need to be done

  • He tells us to make choices of our own volition and to have “preparedness” to accept the consequences of those choices.

• The “I’ll do it because my boss told me to do it” mentality runs counter to this.

• Other interesting points

  • Affirm that “I want to do” keeps changing.
  • Can do” includes borrowing the skills of others.
    • Use this “Motivation Creation Method” to borrow the skills of others and create motivation for them
