Motivation

---

Without an ability to measure progress, a lack of clarity exists around what constitutes performance.
Your ability to measure progress comes through defined expectations and goals.
Therefore, when expectations and goals are murky, performance suffers.


The above logic is effective in the action-pathway for performance.
There is, however, another essential (and generally overlooked) pathway.
The motivational-pathway is distinct yet intrinsic to performance generation.


Setting goals defines the what.
Clarifying motivation defines the why.
In order to achieve the threshold for action-potential (as an individual neuron or an entire system), a certain level of motivational-stimulus must be satisfied.


As a leader, providing clarity around expectations and goals creates the pathway for performance.
Satisfying the threshold of motivation creates the momentum to move forward.
Do both with frequency and vigour.
