Motivation and Leadership
• A person's motivation is a combination of desire and
energy directed at achieving a goal. Influencing
someone's motivation means getting them to want to do
what you know must be done. A person's motivation
depends upon two things:
– The strength of certain needs. For example, you are
hungry, but you must have a task completed by a nearing
deadline. If you are starving you will eat. If you are slightly
hungry you will finish the task at hand.
– The perception that taking a certain action will help satisfy
those needs. For example, you have two burning needs the desire to complete the task and the desire to go to
lunch. Your perception of how you view those two needs
will determine which one takes priority. If you believe that
you could be fired for not completing the task, you will
probably put off lunch and complete the task. If you believe
that you will not get into trouble or perhaps finish the task
in time, then you will likely go to lunch.

Empowerment
• Empowerment is the process of
increasing the capacity of individuals
or groups to make choices and to
transform those choices into desired
actions and outcomes. Central to this
process are actions which both build
individual and collective assets, and
improve the efficiency and fairness of
the organizational and institutional
context which govern the use of these
assets
