Change can be a painful process if not well planned. For me, change has to begin with a motivational process where I start with the rider. According to Heath and Heath 2010, change can be an easier process once you know the direction going and can identify the value in the things you are doing. My goal is to stay focus, and create a checklist that will allow me to see the bright spots and investigate what’s working for me and rid myself of those things that are not.

article, “In Praise of the Incomplete Leader,” also provided me with four great capabilities of leader that is Sensemaking, Relating, Visioning, and Inventing. I can identify with Sensemaking that will allow me to have an understanding and interpret my goals that I have set forth to accomplish.

She was only riding with me one day per week, and when the cold came, she finally dropped out. I do have a vivid vision of my plan with success and reaching my goal. I did my diet analysis. I weigh in monthly; I provided myself with a backup plan in case of bad weather or illness. Whenever the bad weather was to occur, I have a complete gym in my home, and I have membership at the neighborhood Y that will allow me to continue to motivate the elephant and keep him on the right track. As far as invention goes, I will remind myself if dullness approach I will change up and try something different.

    1. After reflecting on who or what event provided me with leadership influence I concluded there wasn’t one person or one event that has had the most effect on me to strive to become a better leader or person for that matter. Many of my past supervisors and present alike have been good and bad with more good than bad. I attempt to take pieces from each of their leadership qualities, use things I liked and stayed away from their “bad” leadership qualities I did not believe helped me grow as a leader or produce quality jobs or mission results. All the while, my own personality and beliefs intertwined with their leadership styles to make me who I am today as a leader.…

    Daniel Pink, author of the book, Drive, claims that the outdated motivational method of carrots and sticks is no longer applicable to most of the world. Pink assures that the old motivational method makes a person’s job dull and ultimately boring, causing a person to not place much interest in his or her work and possibly affecting them mentally. He introduces us to a revolutionary idea of how a person could have their dwindling fire reignited so that a person could better their work environment and ultimately, their life and even their health.

The trio is intended to fuel anybody who has a long or short term goal and it allows a person to not only better themselves, but continue to better themselves over the course of time.…
