The Way You Behave as a Leader
Nearly everyone wants a leader who takes stands and makes decisions, who will stay in charge no matter how difficult the situation is.
Many people expect authority and direction from the boss.
Sometimes you will have an employee who is totally opposed to authority.
Employees want you to be friendly, but they expect you to maintain an objective, work-oriented relationship with each person.

Motivation is what makes people tick: the needs, desires, fear, & aspirations within that makes them behave as they do.
It is the energizer that makes people take action: the why in human behavior.
Motivation comes from within.
You cannot motivate people to do good work, but by getting to know your employees you can activate their own motivations.

Theory Y (McGregor):
Revised the typical view of the way people look at work.

Theories of Motivation
Herzberg’s Motivation - Hygiene Theory:
Inadequacies in the job environment create dissatisfaction (dissatisfiers), or hygiene/maintenance factors.
Motivators are factors in the job itself provide motivation & satisfaction (recognition, achievement, the work itself, etc.).
The answer to motivating employees, then, lies in the job itself.
If it can be enriched to provide opportunity for achievement & growth, it will not only motivate the worker to perform well but will also tap unused potential & use personnel more effectively.

Theories of Motivation
Behavior modification:
Newer method for improving performance.
Bypasses inner motivation & deals instead with behavior change.
Takes off from the behaviorist’s theory that all behavior is a function of its consequences; people behave as they do because of positive or negative consequences to them.
If the consequences are positive, they will tend to repeat the behavior; if they are negative, they will tend not to.
If you want to improve performance, then, you will give positive reinforcement (attention, praise) whenever people do things right.
