Motivation – “Setting Your Hair On Fire”
A sign on a fence in the Indiana countryside:
“If you cross this field you had better do it in 9.8 seconds. The bull can do it in 10 seconds.”
If you think that this is a motivational message, you are equating threats with motivation. Have we got good news for you!
With the authors’ combined 50 + years of management and sales experience, we’ve seen’em all – Zig Ziglar, Dennis Waitley, Lou Holtz, Anthony Robbins, countless celebrities and former athletes. They have revealed valuable insights, rekindled a fire, reset our moods, got our heads on straight, or just made us smile.
And they are very good at it, so the next time you want a quick fix, be our guest – attend a seminar or listen to a rah-rah tape.
What we want to talk about is what motivates employees, what satisfies employees, and what motivates you – those things that make you tuned in, turned on, for the long term.
