MORE ABOUT TERRY
Motivation is one of those things that even the best companies get wrong
Terry Hill is a Business Psychologist, Trainer and Coach with extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry, picking up more than a few awards in the process. Terry describes “Big Pharma” as a great place to work, a place where you could make a difference and where companies are prepared to invest in the development and motivation of their staff.
Terry is passionate about motivation and influencing science but claims experience is the best teacher of all. His book is the expression of 30 years of experience and his fascination for what drives people.
Motivation is one of those things that even the best companies get wrong. Terry saw the huge impact of getting it wrong and concluded that getting it right was easier. Terry was delighted to escape line management roles. He laughs “I was never much good at following procedures and hopeless with formal authority”. On the other hand he was described as having a knack for getting the best out of people. “People would follow him anywhere” said one. Terry laughs "Probably out of morbid curiosity..I never really fitted the mould"
Most organisations rely far too much on formal authority according to Terry. Autocrats and bullies survive and thrive, often "under the radar". Their people respond by doing the minimum to escape punishment and keep their jobs. Informal authority that taps into individuals natural passions creates much happier, healthier and more productive workplaces.
Terry’s wife describes him as highly accident prone – “a walking disaster” whose "mind is always on other things". With a competitive nature it could only lead to trouble. He once broke his own arm in an arm wrestling contest but now grudgingly admits he lost that one. Terry has learned to be far more relaxed about things and stick with what really matters. He adds that co-operation usually beats competition and there is enough competition in the marketplace without having to bing it in-house.
Terry lives in Worcestershire and travels extensively with his work. He now writes and delivers training programs for leading organisations in several business sectors.
