Motivation, Manipulation, and Leadership: definitions

by Rick Baker
On Feb 28, 2011
Zig Ziglar said:
 
Motivation is when you inspire a person to do something for their own good,
 
Manipulation is when you get a person to do something for your good, and
 
Leadership is when you persuade a person to take action which is in your mutual best interests.
 
Good definitions!
 
[I feel motivation comes from within and not from other people…however, that point of debate does not reduce the value of Zig Ziglar’s definitions.]

“For contentment, apparently, it pays to look at how far you’ve come. To stoke motivation and ambition, focus on the road ahead.”

"It is always very difficult for a motivated person to understand the lack of motivation of others. Most people are content with complacency and maintenance."
