…Old Ideas
The time to worry is when an idea is so widely shared that we
no longer even notice it, when it is so deeply rooted that it
feels like just plain common sense. At the point when
objections are not answered anymore because they are no
longer being raised, we are not in control: we do not have the
idea; IT HAS US.

You want to recognize…
• The extra in the ordinary.
• Everyone wants to succeed.
• Doing is better than talking…always!
• It takes courage to make change.
• We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are.
– Anais Nin

Complaining…
The EGO’s favorite strategy for strengthening itself.
Gives a feeling of superiority on which the EGO thrives.
The EGO must be right. To be right, of course, you need
someone to be wrong.
In short: you need others to be wrong in order to get a
stronger sense of who you are.

Blame…
Blaming students [for poor academic performance or
motivation] is like doctors in a hospital saying, “Don’t
send us any more sick people – we don’t know what to
do with them. Send us healthy patients so we can look
like good doctors.”

Force…
• Don’t confuse FORCE with LEADERSHIP.
• Force polarizes rather than unifies.
• Force produces a win/lose dichotomy.
• When someone loses, ENEMIES ARE CREATED.

Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior
- David R. Hawkins
![Page 11: Motivation - WIU - The Right Choice for Your Success ... of Possibility SWACDA 2012.pdf · Motivation The Art of Possibility ... Kohn, Alfie. 1999. Punished by Rewards: The trouble](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022608/5b87a0537f8b9a435b8bd77f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Negative Emotions…
Chronic anger, anxiety, or a sense of futility can powerfully
disrupt work, hijacking attention from the task at hand.
While mild anxiety (such as over a looming deadline) can
focus attention and energy, prolonged distress can sabotage a
leader’s relationships and also hamper work performance by
diminishing the brain’s ability to process information and
respond effectively.

Courage to Change
Never underestimate your power to change yourself, never
overestimate your power to change others.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable
ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor.
From Walden, by Henry David Thoreau
It’s the awareness of how you are stuck, that makes you
recover.
Fritz Perls
![Page 14: Motivation - WIU - The Right Choice for Your Success ... of Possibility SWACDA 2012.pdf · Motivation The Art of Possibility ... Kohn, Alfie. 1999.

Emotional and Mood
An emotional episode usually leaves a corresponding lingering
mood; a low-key, continual flow of feeling throughout the
group.
Great leadership works through the emotions.
When leaders drive emotions positively, they bring out
everyone’s best.

Skill
The skillful are not obvious. They appear to be
simple-minded. Those who know this know the
patterns of the Absolute. To know the patterns is
the Subtle Power. The Subtle Power moves all

The Art of Possibility
What assumption am I making,
That I am not aware I’m making,
That gives me what I see?
What might I now invent?
That I haven’t yet invented,
That would give me other choices?
