Motivation & Influencing Others - An Insight!

• Motivation & Human Relations

One can buy man's time, his physical efforts, but not his enthusiasm, initiative or loyalty. Thus enthusiasm or willingness to work can be created by motivation. Motivation is the action that impels or urges an individual to assume an attitude generally favourable  towards his work leading him to perform satisfactorily.

           Knowledge X Skill = Ability
          Situation X Attitude = Motivation
          Ability X Motivation = Human Performance
          Human Performance X Physical factors = Business Performance

Best motivation is self motivation.  Yoga & Meditation are simple ways of achieving the same.  7 Habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey is encompassed in 1 Shloka of Geeta.
