Motivate Others' Multiple Intelligences

Before multiple intelligences become commonplace in your circle, it’s likely you will want to motivate and inspire others to move in the direction of using more of their capabilities. It works well to recognize and point out what people do well, and encourage them to do more of that at work.

Coach others in ways that teach through motivation and you'll be surprised by the brain's response. You’ll gain more than you realize since the brain uses what we teach somebody else to retain 90% more than other forms of learning. To change and succeed people’s brains need a hook, though, a ill-motivate.gifstarting from where they stand now to heights they could progress with multiple intelligences. A person’s strengths provides that hook that inspires learning and use.

One effective way to motivate is to walk the talk through using a few new intelligences of your own each week. Share the results you get, and when others observe benefits, they too will be motivated to expand their own use of more intelligences.

Take the motivation and modeling seriously, as brains work well when they can imitate another successful approach. Results will rarely come all at once, and yet often pop up in places that surprise you. One of the oldest, and most stuck in his ways leaders in Chile, tried multiple intelligences in his organization - and now he vows that he gets far more from his field than an entire lifetime before multiple intelligences. Not a bad model from an older leader, who is changing lives all around him, and having a blast at the same time.

Start with people who willingly try new approaches. Lay out one problem the needs solving where you work, and then help people link their strengths to create working solutions. Track the strengths they use back to one of the 8 intelligences and over time, encourage people to try different intelligences, one at a time. Discuss results and encourage risk taking for excellence.

To motivate oneself is an ideal way to start, and that takes intrapersonal intelligence, and an ability to use one’s full range of intelligences.  In contrast, to motivate others requires strong interpersonal intelligence,  and the smart skills identified in this series … help your brain to grow new neuron pathways which improve with use.
