Take, for example, lots of firms use abstract terms like "change," "innovate," and "connect" in their mission statements. In the book, Mr. Galinsky refers to an experiment that showed the effect of more concrete language. In it, teams were asked to design toys and given a vision statement to guide their behaviour. Teams who were handed a statement with more visual language — to create toys that "…make wide-eyed kids laugh and proud parents smile" — produced more engaging toys than teams who were given something more general.

Galinsky also highlights the power of counterfactual thinking to inspire a sense of meaning. In a study he conducted with Laura Zaki of the University of California, Berkeley, participants reflected on important life events, like choosing a college. Some were also asked to think about how things would have turned out if this event had not taken place. This group attached greater meaning to the event in question. This technique can also strengthen employees' ties to firms by having them imagine a world without their firm.

Perhaps the most striking idea in the book is that, instead of bosses motivating people from above, individuals can do it for themselves. In a study he conducted with other co-authors, some newly-registered Swiss citizens were asked to undertake a 10-to-15-minute exercise in which they reflected on values that mattered to them. They were three times more likely to find a job than those who did not.

Managers play a huge role in motivating their people. But inspiration can be bottom-up as well as top-down. Don't just tell your team what Jobs said. Ask why their jobs matter to them.
