Motivation Is Not A Thinking Word; It's

People Are More Inclined To Be Drawn In If Their Leader Has A Compelling Vision. Great Leaders Help People Get In Touch With Their Own Aspirations And Then Will Help Them Forge Those Aspirations Into A Personal Vision.

Never Underestimate The Magnitude Of The Power Of The Forces That Reinforce The Status Quo.

Many Years Ago, I Think I Got My First Insight On How An Incredibly Diverse Team Can Work Together And Do Astonishing Things, And Not Just Misunderstand Each Other And Fight.

Motivation And Inspiration Energize People, Not By Pushing Them In The Right Direction As Control Mechanisms Do But By Satisfying Basic Human Needs For Achievement, A Sense Of Belonging, Recognition, Self-esteem, A Feeling Of Control Over One's Life, And The Ability To Live Up To One's Ideals. Such Feelings Touch Us Deeply And Elicit A Powerful Response.

Leadership Is About Setting A Direction. It's About Creating A Vision, Empowering And Inspiring People To Want To Achieve The Vision, And Enabling Them To Do So With Energy And Speed Through An Effective Strategy. In Its Most Basic Sense, Leadership Is About Mobilizing A Group Of People To Jump Into A Better Future.
