communication

for so long, they’re professionals (Helio).

comes to communicating effectively to inspire and
motivate others

11. Best Practice
for Inspiration & Motivation
• Inspire and motivate people without authority
– Uncertainty is becoming the norm in Today’s
workforce environment

inspiring and motivating others without authority is
essential (Silverstein).

goals

achieving a unified goal

14. Open Questions
• Are these actions performed by a leader, or are these actions
make the person a leader?
• Can leadership be improved by developing these aspects of
yourself?
• Is there a difference between the archetypal leader-
subordinate role and coordinated team synergy where
everyone manages their part?
– Both situations aim to convince a group of people to work towards a
common goal, but in very different manners.
