German term or phrase: auch davon keine motivierende Wirkung ausstrahlt
Besondere Schwierigkeiten, sich auf Veränderungen einzulassen, spüren sie also, wenn sie selbst keinen Grund dafür sehen und/oder „eigentlich“ nicht wollen, dies aber nicht offen zuzugestehen bereit sind. Oder in Situationen, in denen sie noch keine eigene Auffassung zur Neuerung entfaltet haben; und/oder wenn sie kaum das Bedürfnis empfinden, mit anderen Schritt halten zu müssen, sodass in diesem Fall ***auch davon keine motivierende Wirkung ausstrahlt***. Sobald sie sich der Akzeptanz sicher fühlen, arbeiten sie hingegen engagiert und pragmatisch, um eine innovative Idee umzusetzen.

I can't think of a neat way of translating the part between the asterisks. Can anyone help?

TIA

..., because the desire/need to keep abreast of others is largely lacking, ..


Explanation:
.. there is no incentive/motivation to proceed/continue.

My first rough shot - still room for improvement

I think the German would read better if instead of "sodass in diesem Fall auch davon keine motivierende Wirkung ausstrahlt" it read "sodass in diesem Fall auch keine motivierende Wirkung ausgestrahlt wird".

HTH.

PS: Sheila, you sure seem to be landed with challenging stuff, repeatedly.
