Prior to class I expected to learn how to motivate others.
I actually learned about what motivates people in the workplace. I also learned that while there are some main things that motivate, everyone has different motivators. A manager has to recognize that their employees will need to be motivated in a variety of ways in order to get everyone on board.
I will use this information by paying attention to what motivates me and paying attention to what motivates others. When in a managerial position, I will make sure to ask people what motivates them and pay attention to how each person reacts to different motivators.
My personal feelings about the material is that it was interesting but could have given us even more ideas of how to practically motivate others, instead of just theoretically.
