The Leader who motivates other is self-motivated

• Motivational leaders do not lack motivation. They are self starters.
• Your motivation gives you credibility to motivate others.

The Leader who motivates should motivate others with the right motives

• Manipulation is moving people for personal advantage. Motivation moves people for mutual advantage.
• Do I motivate only people who can help me?
• Do I motivate only people when I am in a leadership assignment?
• Do I motivate others by using leverage or guilt?
• Do I unconditionally love others if they do not respond to my leadership?
• Motivate people out of their comfort zone but never out of their gift zone. You frustrate people when you do that.
