Motivation

I actually don't remember discussing motivation last week but I thought our guest speaker was great. Her story of how she got where she is can be somewhat motivating and gives hope for what can be attained as a manager. She had a fantastic and cheerful personality that is contagious. She seemed genuinely sold on the key concepts and philosiphies that IHC stands for and was excited to represent her employer in a positive manner. This type of personality is difficult to find and even harder to teach. It is something that usually comes naturally and she has it. No wonder she is in the position she is in today. She probably deserves every bit of success she has achieved. Self motivation is key as a manager because if you can't motivate yourself then nobody else probably will do it. As a manager you have to have enough motivation to push yourselves and those you manage. a lot of the managerial process really is just helping others to be excited about their job and motivated to do better.
