Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce the inception, foundations, research findings, and current inquiry about motivating language theory. This theory was originally conceptualized by professor Jeremiah Sullivan as a communicative path to enhance follower motivation and related outcomes through mindful and strategic leader speech. These forms of talk are embedded in meaning-making (giving significance and cultural guidance to work), empathetic (sharing human bonding at work), and direction-giving (dispelling ambiguity and transparently sharing work expectations) languages. The three dimensions of ML represent most types of leader to follower work-related speech and elicit the best results when the leader walks the talk, employees accurately perceive what the leader intends, and all ML dimensions are used appropriately.
