Mojster motiviranja: Skrivnost navdihujočega vodenja
str. 26- vodje morajo delavce vzpodbujati in iz njih iztisniti najboljše, ne da bi jih pri tem izčrpali.
Str. 38- mentor se je zazrl dougu naravnost v oči. "Najprej moraš motivirati samega sebe. Razumeti moraš besede Charlesa Tremendousa Jonesa: 'Čez pet let boš ravno tak, kot si danes. Razlikoval se boš le po ljudeh, ki jih boš poslušal'. K temu lahko dodam, da se boš razlikoval tudi po filmih, ki jih boš gledal.
Str. 39- načrt za motiviranje:
1 samoodkritje,
2 cilji, vizija in vrednote,
3 Smisel in pričakovanja,
4 iskanje posebnih sposobnosti,
5 pomoč drugim in sebi,
6 od posnemanja k vodenju,
7 neprekinjen tok energije in vitalnosti,
8 neprekinjen tok povratnih informacij.
Str. 40- hotenje in želje so osnova za motive. Pravi pomen motivacije je v tem, da razviješ jasno množico motivov in nato 'akcij', ki so potrebne za to, da ustrezeš in zadostiš svojim motivom.
Str. 41- strahovi in obrambni mehanizem, ki jih imaš, so največje ovire pri osvobajanju sposobnosti.
Str. 51- Štirje koraki za uspeh: smiselno načrtuj - pobožno se pripravi - pozitivno ukrepaj - vztrajno nadaljuj. (William A. Ward)
str. 56- Dougu je vsebolj postajalo jasno, da "postanemo tisto, kar pričakujemo".
Str. 64- vsako podjetje bi bilo lahko in bi moralo biti izobraževalna organizacija.
Str. 67- veliko premalo nas doživlja trenutke resnične odličnosti. Čemu povprečnost? Čemu v ogledalu izrazi utrujenosti in bledi na obrazih? Zaradi slabe naravnanosti. Ta pa pomeni vse! Lahko se naučimo ukazovati svojemu počutju o tem, kakšno naj bo. Vsak izmed nas si lahko zjutraj reče: "Dobro se počutim in počutil se bom še bolje. Počutil se bom odlično!".
Str. 73- potrudite se, da boste izrazili hvaležnost vsaj enemu človeku na dan.
Str. 75- zapomni si, da tvoje šibkosti predstavljajo tisto, kar nisi. Šibkost je zgolj odsotnost kreposti ali pa nezadostno razvita krepost.
Str. 80- vsak izmed nas ima globoko potrebo po tem, da se kot osebnost počuti pomembnega. Tovrstne občutke je mogoče ustvariti z jasnimi pričakovanji in osredotočanjem na kreposti. .... Ljudje se sprašujejo, kakšna je razlika med vodjem in šefom. Vodja svojega dela ne skriva, šef pa. Vodja vodi, šef žene (Theodore Roosevelt).
Str. 83- RAZVOJ
Realna ocenitev kreposti
Aktivna pricakovanja
Zanimanje
Vizija, sanje in upanje
Odprtost in dostopnost
Jasni cilji in poslanstvo
str. 84- upanje je univerzalna hrana za celoten razvoj, izobilje in motivacijo.
Str. 85- kar daš, dobiš. Kar pošlješ, se vrne k tebi. Kar seješ, zanješ.
Str. 86- dopovedovanje ljudi pomanjšuje, spraševanje pa jih povečuje in jim daje moč.
Str. 87- sprašuj, poslušaj in razumi, da boš lahko določil njihove želje, potrebe in možnosti.

This is one of the many books written on how to motivate those you work with. The book doesn't really offer anything new. However, the well known aspects of motivation are packaged in a manner that they look attractive. Perhaps the most significant statement relates to the journey within : "Motivating begins with introspection, begins with self examination......'from inside out'". How true. The author goes on to emphasize that "A master motivator empowers others to create for themselves a desire to produce, achieve, excel....". He even quotes Gandhi, the master motivator, "You will find yourself by losing yourself in service to your fellowman, your country and your God". And finally, "the most precious and intangible quality of leadership is trust".

Poorly Written but some good pointers. The book's points could have been summarized on one sheet of paper and saved me a few hours of bad reading.
