Starting some good trouble
Inaugurating the new profession of ‘need-response’ with your input
As civil rights legend John Lewis put it, sometimes we must start some good trouble, some necessary trouble, to bring or restore justice into this world. Our love has grown cold. Let’s start some trouble to spark more love.
Need-response emerges as a new tool for restoring our potential to be more loving toward one another. It has to start somewhere. It now starts here.
Your input can help shape into something beautiful. Follow along to see how this refreshing alternative can bring more wellness into the world, and into your own life. Let’s build this pioneering service together.
Square One. I’m boldly letting my employer know what actually motivates my productivity. I am intrinsically motivated, and now must warn them how habitually being angrily yelled at actually demotivates me.
It actually lowers my productivity. And ultimately costs them their bottom line. Besides, it creates a hostile work environment that skirts the spirit of the law.
Square Two. I could complain to the National Labors Relation Board. Or start an online smear campaign. Or resign to a safe level of presenteeism. But I am opting for a more win-win alternative.
With need-response, I’m trying to incentivize them to improve their responsiveness to my intrinsic motivation. I’m asserting this as a natural condition to unleash my full productive potential.
My former employer tried to fire me for being so bold. How will my current employer react?
Next time…square three. How did they react?
Follow along to see how this new service can create the kind of value that you may seek in your own professional relations.
