A lot of employees across organizations are suffering from an attention deficit. This leads to underproductivity compared to what levels they are really capable of. Observations have clearly suggested that one way to increase motivation is through storytelling. Here storytelling need not be a formal occasion where the bosses tell their subordinates long stories and the latter are to behave as audiences. It could simply be small-talk on individual basis through practical examples which will help them connect with their work. Once we get to be experts at something we tend to put lesser cognitive force to it and this leads to increased disconnect. That is why at Vital Smarts, a monthly meet is termed as Mission Moment where employees share stories from work that made impact. This has proven to be a great step in the direction of talent management as employees feel greater connect to their work, knowing that it is part of something bigger.
