At the beginning of every Bullet Proof Manager course I attend (once a month, half a day for a year), they give away a book to one deserving person, all based on a Personal Action Plan that one has put together.
I won the book for last month's PAP, the book is entitled 100 Ways to Motivate Others...How Great Leaders Can Produce Insane Results Without Drivig People Crazy.
1st Chapter...Know where Motivation Comes From.
Tip...you can't manage people, neither can you motivate them, motivation has to come from within them. First step...you need to feel motivated.
Easier said than done yes? Now I need to go and find some source of motivation.
Update...8.19 am 25th October, 2007
Okay, I've slept on it, and realize one of the things that motivates me is providing the best service and products to my clients. From now on, I am going to focus on that, and that alone, everyone else can take a hike or take a number to be on my list of priorities....I mean everyone else in this company lah.
I want satisfaction. I want to be proud of putting my name to something. As in the words of George Michael..."If you want to do it, do it right"...

Motivating people. Tell me about it.
How do you motivate people when they are so satisfied with what they are currently doing?
How do I tell a secretary that she can be more than just a secretary? Or the non-exec worker that he can one day be a manager? They are just so like happy to be where they are.
Here I am trying to push people to be beyond themselves. Maybe this is a GLC thing. Semua happy memanjang.
I am never happy memanjang...
I always go by the 4Ps
Passion
Patience
Persistence
Perseverance
Anak buah ikut boss, some fast, some slower, some never.
