Hurry Up
Explanations > Motivation > Kahler's drivers > Hurry up
Imperative | Identification | Benefits | Problems | Treatment | So what?
This is one of the five drivers originally identified in the field of Transactional Analysis by Taibi Kahler. Here are some simple and useful notes on it.
Imperative
- Go faster. Whatever I am doing, it's not being done quickly enough.
- So much to do, so little time.
Identification
- Enthusiastic and action-oriented.
- Many things on the go at once. Often juggling several quite different activities.
- Time language, using words like 'now', 'schedule', 'timely' and so on.
- Complaints that there is not enough time.
- Talking quickly and checking the clock frequently.
- Impatient (watch for tapping fingers and huffing).
- May explode into anger if held up.
Benefits
- When given work delivers it quickly.
- Good focus on output and delivery (when not combined with 'try hard').
Problems
- Fretting over having 'nothing to do'.
- Speed over accuracy.
- Taking on too much and then complaining
- Hassling others to do things before they are ready.
Treatment
- Thank them for their time.
- Ensure they think before they act.
- Help them to 'be' without 'doing'. Get them to sit quietly and appreciate a single moment.
So what?
Recognize these drivers in yourself and others and treat them accordingly.
