When you wake up in the morning, what is the passion that fuels you to start your day?
Are you living this in your work? If others asked you what drives you to achieve, would the
answer be obvious? The triggers that motivate people to achieve are unique for everyone.
Many would say its money; more people are starting to claim that they are driven to make
a difference. Regardless of what motivates you and drives you to reach peak performance
– it must be managed and balanced. Too much motivation in one area will weaken other
parts of your game.
Motivation has been studied for decades and leaders in the workplace have used
assessments like DISC and Myers-Briggs to determine their employee’s personality types
to better anticipate behaviors and tendencies. Additionally, motivational books are used
as tools to get employees to increase their performance and / or get them back on track.
While assessments, books and other tools can help project and inspire short and long

begin to truly understand what matters most to them. Therefore, as leaders we must hold

and be specific about how you help each of them achieve their goals, desires and
aspirations. The objective should be to help one another and to accomplish this each of
you must identify those things that motivate you both to work together.
To help you get the most from your employee relationships, here are the nine (9) things
that ultimately motivate employees to achieve. As you read this, think of how you associate
with each of them. Share your story and perspectives – and comment about it. This is a
hot topic and the more we can discuss it, we can help one another become better leaders.
1. Trustworthy Leadership
Leaders that have your back and that are looking out for your best interests – will win the
trust of their employees who in turn will be more motivated to achieve. I once had a
department manager that always looked out for me. He was upfront in communicating his
performance expectations and his feedback was direct. He never treated me like a
subordinate and looked for ways to include me in senior management meetings. This
opened my eyes to what lied ahead in my career and thus motivated me to re ...
