Leaders have to develop new and innovative ways to motivate their followers every day. But what motivates leaders? I started thinking about this question recently when my 8th grade son wasn’t motivated to get out of bed early one school morning to participate in one of his final basketball practices. Of course it wasn’t too hard for me to motivate him – ‘get up or there won’t be any XBox this weekend’ But why couldn’t he motivate himself to get up?

You would have to be living under a rock over the last few months if you hadn’t heard something about a professional football player named Tim Tebow. Tebow is the quarterback of the Denver Broncos. The reason he’s been much talked about over the last few months is he is not the traditional NFL quarterback. He is left handed, doesn’t have a strong arm, is considered more of a running quarterback than a “pocket passer”, and some would say he wears his faith on his sle

Those things are your brand IMAGE, but they arent your brand. Your brand is an idea.a feeling.an experience.
