INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION

The People Who Are Crazy Enough To Think That
They Can Change the World, Are The Ones Who Do

The desire to achieve success is inherent in every human being. It is the desire to grow, do more, achieve more and
to make one’s dreams come true. Satisfaction depends not merely on having goals, but on having the right goals. The
most successful companies focus on this and on motivation – how to inspire it, how to sustain it and how it can lead to
success.

Motivation and inspiration can come from many different sources. There are game-changing people around the world.
Steve Jobs once said: “The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
They are the people who will stop at nothing to make a positive difference to other people’s lives. Most leaders who
hope to inspire and motivate their teams utilise a combination of mainly four traits. They provide a clear picture of the
future and communicate this to their team. They create positive relationships with their teams, connecting emotionally
to people. They display a focused pursuit to drive things on time and keep themselves accountable for performance.
They are principled – they provide a powerful role model of doing the right things in the right way. This is demonstrated
in all areas of business, the arts, media and sport, to name but a few. We feature just a few of them here. They all
change the world in their own way. n
