Brian Tracy-- The Key to Motivation

Another great daily newsletter from Brian Tracy
Your Real Goal
  • Your goal is to become a transformational leader, 
    • the kind of person that motivates and inspires people to perform at levels far beyond anything that they had previously thought possible.
Keep People In the Know
  • Transformational leaders empower others by keeping them "in the know,"
  •   People want and need to feel that they are "insiders," that they are aware of everything that is going on.
  • Nothing demoralizes people more then not knowing whats going on in the company.
Give Regular Feedback
  • One empowering behavior practiced by transformational leaders is regular feedback on performance and results. 
  • People need to know how they're doing so they can improve if performance is below standards and so that they can be proud of their successes. 
  • The more feedback you give to people, the better it is, as long as the feedback is objective and not critical. 
  • Ken Blanchard says that, "Positive feedback is the breakfast of champions."
Be Generous With Praise
  • Be generous with your praise and encouragement. 
  • people are the only asset that can be made to appreciate in value by giving them warmth, respect, approval and by creating a climate of positive expectations.


Create An Exciting Future
  • What companies and countries and institutions need today are courageous visionary leaders who are committed to creating an exciting future for themselves and others. 
  • You have within yourself the ability to evolve and grow as a leader and to make a real difference in the world around you.
  • the one thing you can know for sure about yourself is that, no matter what you've accomplished up to now, there is far more that you can do.
