Discussion: Principles Of Management
Review the motivational ideas or theories addressed in the readings for Unit III. (One theory is Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Here, people are understood to pursue physical survival needs first and needs for comfort and prestige last. Another is Vroom's expectancy theory, which posits that people will be motivated to choose a course of action that matches the best available reward if they believe the reward is realistic. Using yourself as an example, do you feel that one or more of the ideas or theories are particularly effective in motivating you, or is there a better way you can be motivated?
1) Engage the reader in the topic with some form of creative "hook" (such as a story, quote, or example).
2) Provide an example of a situation in which a leader used one of these theories to successfully motivate you.
3) Next, provide an example of a situation where an attempted motivational tool did not work.
What was it about the second example that did not work? Explain your answer.
