Motivation …

So what motivates People? I have no idea. I guess its all about getting to know the individual very personally and see what ticks them. I guess what gets my motor running is politics, religion, war and a general argument. All the characterisitcs and traits of a 22 year old, politically frustrated individual who wants to be “super-man” and change the world. But I think I know what really ticks me and gets me to run the 100 metre sprint with my 240 pound mass in less than 5 seconds. Obivously I will not explicitly state that in this blog, just in case a friend of mine reads it and starts annoying me with it. But the question of motivating people will probably lead to the fundamental question of managing people. Managing people, I feel is a skill that can be learnt but there has to be some intuitive, gut actions that really define the “manager”, a leader of some sorts, but doesnt have to be great. Just at times to get the highest productivity and efficiency out of his/her people. So I guess there are three kinds of methods to motivate people. Some people just dont get motivated. Its like that robot “Marvin” from the book/movie “The HitchHiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. Then there are others who like to be spoon fed, continuously supported through words of wisdom, support and advice. Then there are the ones who get motivated by getting “pissed” off by actions, statements, ridicules,words and smirks. LOL!!! I know what group I belong to!!!!
