The document discusses key aspects of leadership and effective communication. It notes that a leader is defined not by their title or salary but by how they interact with others. Successful leaders are good communicators and listeners who can help people achieve their potential by establishing a vision, building relationships, and motivating others. Motivation involves recognizing people, including them, encouraging risk-taking, and trusting them. Effective communication is two-way, and leaders must listen to understand different perspectives, admit mistakes, and praise openness to encourage further input.

22. Myths in Motivation
• Myth #1 -- "I can motivate people"
Not really -- they have to motivate themselves.
You can't motivate people anymore than you can
empower them. Employees have to motivate and
empower themselves. However, you can set up
an environment where they best motivate and
empower themselves. The key is knowing how to
set up the environment for each of your
employees.

23. Myths in motivation
2. Myth #2 -- "Money is a good motivator“
Not really. Certain things like money, a nice office
and job security can help people from becoming
less motivated, but they usually don't help people
to become more motivated. A key goal is to
understand the motivations of each of your
employees.
23ARISE TRAINING & RESEARCH CENTER
24. 3. Myth #3 -- "Fear is a good motivator"
Fear is a great motivator -- for a very short time.
That's why a lot of yelling from the boss won't
seem to "light a spark under employees" for a
very long time.
24ARISE TRAINING & RESEARCH CENTER
25. • 4. Myth #4 -- "I know what motivates me, so I
know what motivates my employees"
• Not really. Different people are motivated by
different things. I may be greatly motivated by
earning time away from my job to spend more
time my family. You might be motivated much
more by recognition of a job well done. People
are not motivated by the same things. Again, a
key goal is to understand what motivates each of
your employees.
25ARISE TRAINING & RESEARCH CENTER
26. • 6. Myth #5 -- "I can't comprehend employee
motivation -- it's a science"
• Nah. Not true. There are some very basic steps
you can take that will go a long way toward
supporting your employees to motivate
themselves toward increased performance in their
jobs.

27. Power of enthusiasm
• Enthusiasm is something you transmit
through your eyes, in the way you move, you
act and more than the way you write. All
should have enthusiasm for something. If you
don’t feel any type of enthusiasm, you might
as well be dead. Once you discover that you
are enthusiastic in doing something, it’s easy
to develop the ability to get the success there
yourself.
Dale Carnegie

28. Know the power of enthusiasm
• Enthusiasm is a feeling that has to come from
inside
“That’s one small step for man,
but one Giant leap for mankind”
