What is Leadership & Motivation"Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having

a vision that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues, and taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential."

Prof. Warren Bennis

“Motivation is the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.”-Google Definition.

What comes to mind when you think of an exceptional, motivated leader?

Focus on performance – anticipate challenges, monitor performance.

Motivation Continued….The one’s that give up without 100% effort given, are what I like to call… COWARDS. Do not EVER CHEAT YOURSELF in

life!

Motivation Continued….The way I see it is, the more you lose, the more you win. When you “lose”,

you just learned something. THAT IS A WIN.

Every single time you decide to not surrender, it is considered a personal win in your life.

Life is about growth and experience, the more you gain, the wiser you become.

Motivation Continued…. Understanding and accepting that is

easy to take the easy way out in life, HOWEVER….

When you take the easy way out, your constantly decreasing your mental skills.

You have to physically and mentally push yourself to the limit, in order to make life easier for yourself.

THAT’S JUST HOW IT WORKS!!

I’m not saying change your life, but to practice the art of becoming a “life changer”. This is the lifestyle I chose from day 1.

Ask yourself….

Do I want this lifestyle? Or, Am I about this lifestyle.

The world could use more motivating, leaders out there. As far as I know, those are the one’s who pick people back up when they are at their lowest point in life. (Sometimes graduates need us as a motivator)

So be that type of person, and life can change dramatically for you.

Your relationships with your family, your social life and even your professional work life here at UMA.

People will look at you differently and I promise they will praise you for your behavior and attitude you bring to the table every single day.

BE FEARLESS The way I see it…. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE? If you all come into work everyday with

the mindset that you are going to change someone’s life. You are going to be successful. I PROMISE you that.

This is something that I personally live by. Your mind will play tricks on you, but only

you can overcome that. Do you have the will? That’s what you have to figure out.

BE FEARLESS We come to work everyday and might be scared our job

is on the line if we….

Don’t get an interview confirmed Don’t get a hire, a placement… etc… Some may not be meeting metrics perhaps….

In the end, life is all about effort. If you don’t hit your metrics, change your plan or strategy, but do not give up.

Come in every single day with the mindset that you are going to do your job to the maximum capacity until that clock hits 6:00PM

And I can assure you, you will be viewed differently than, the individual that comes in and gives a poor effort. YOU will stand out.

Final Judgement Call In the end…. Even if you are not

impressed with your results, people will view you differently and your managers will be pleased with your effort. Give it your best effort.
