Frans Gossieaux is a well respected leader. His comments below help us see why churches and non-profits need to learn about peoples motivations, their behavioral style and what is beckoning them to get involved in ‘x’ now.

When we understand the ‘what and why’ we can better support them in ‘how’. Leaders, staff, pastors, and volunteers need to spend time to explore the motivators that lies within us.

Take time to learn the story of eachothers faith and keep listening. The changes in one’s life have a way of changing the way we react and how we can and want to be engaged.

Work teams work on projects which have a beginning and end, they usually have well-defined roles in those project, and they get paid for doing that work – it’s their job. To use Dan Ariely’s metaphore, they are evaluating what they do and how much they contribute in their market framework.

Communities are mostly self-organized around a shared passion or around the need for people to help others and be helped. There are few pre-defined roles, and people usually do not get paid to participate – it’s not their job. In the most successful communities, people evaluate their contributions in their social framework.

So why is that important? Because they require radically different motivators in order to work.
