Course Introduction
It is amazing what people will do if they feel valuable in their organization. Your success as a manager or leader will be determined by your ability to elicit extraordinary performance from people. You must be able to build a winning team by motivating others, through coaching and leading by example, to give their very best toward the achievement of the goals of the organization. You can be successful if you make people feel good about themselves and others.
Motivation defined in terms of its effects on productivity is "the art of helping people focus their minds and energies on doing their work as effectively as possible.
If people feel
good about themselves, they will be motivated to solve problems, and they will
be excited about their work, so they will look for ways to get things done without
being watched and prodded. They will respond to situations rather than react.
When we react, we are controlled by the situation. When we respond, we are able
to seek positive solutions without blaming others or feeling negative. When
we respond, we come from a position of caring and respect.
