Video: Surprising Science of Motivation

by on 01/27/2011 in Emotional Intelligence, Leadership Development, Strategic Intelligence

I love this video from Daniel Pink when he spoke on the surprising science of motivation at TED. Take some time to watch and learn. I have found his presentation very helpful. I recommend his popular book, A Whole New Mind.

What Motivates You?

by on 02/04/2010 in Leadership Development

We are all motivated.  The difference is what actually motivates us.  How would you rank the list below based on what motivates you?

Reasons - leadership makes you (and you yourself) feel your work makes a real difference.

Rewards – appreciation, money, recognition, certificate, time off, promotion.

Relationships - interactions between bosses, coworkers, and clients/parishioners that create teamwork, trust, appreciation, security, and give-and-take at work.

Responsibilities – leadership gives you tasks and people that you can in turn lead, which will require appropriate stretching to accomplish goals.
