How Could Business Organizations Use Inspiration?

By Cris Furs


A survey conducted by Performance Inspired, Inc., a media, research, and consulting firm in Atlanta revealed that 25 organizations topped the list of most inspiring companies. It is apparent that these companies have followed certain principles of inspiration and motivation to make people consider them as most inspiring organizations.

Usually, any inspiration would normally result in a unique creative output and it could be in any field, such as literature, music, painting, sculpture, or other types of artistic endeavors. This concept has its origins in Hebraism and Hellenism. Greeks and Jews believed that it is always a matter of divine influence.

John Locke, a philosopher of the eighteenth century proposed a human mind model, in which ideas resonate or associate with one another inside the mind. However, Sigmund Freud, the psychoanalyst of the early twentieth century stated that any inspiring act or activity occurred in the inner psyche of the person that has been inspired. Later, Carl Gustav Jung, the famous psychiatrist, suggested that an artist attuned to racial memory would become inspired, since such memory would encode the archetypes in human mind.

You should also embed, inculcate, and reinforce various types of inspiring behaviors as well as practices that would drive your business outcome to cater to the best interest of all your stakeholders. You should design, plan, lead, and deliver customized solutions and conduct experimental learning workshops or facilitations and other events that would work in harmony to activate inspiration within your organization.

Marxism has not accepted inspiration as a direct activity or output but it agrees that an inspired artist is attuned for receiving signals from external crises. In spite of these various types of views, whether they are mystical or empiricist, it is generally accepted that inspiration is beyond control by its peculiar nature and occurs instantly.
