 All of us should know a thing or two about how to inspire and motivate others - even non-leaders. It's an important skill that helps us not only take on leadership challenges but engage better with new people, build new relationships, and perform to the best of our potential.
The first step in motivating people is to stop treating them just as employees, managers, CEOs, etc.-we're more than the titles on our business cards!-and start treating others as humans. While that sounds simple, it isn't all that easy in every situation.
So what are the top three characteristics of managers and leaders who motivate? There's a great article on-line we'd like to share, and it reinforces the Insights approach to leadership development. I f supporting leaders who motivate is one of your organizations top priorities, talk to us. Insights Discovering Leadership Effectiveness can be the start of your leadership development program, and the Insights Transformational Leadership modules are designed to work with your leaders over the course of their career.

Keep your eyes open......and be amazed.
Once you begin thinking in terms of Insights Discovery, and the colourful language used to describe the four quadrants, you can begin to see colour everywhere.
Whether it's a bank of colourful recycling containers showcased at the VanDusen Gardens in Vancouver, or a set of carefully arranged deck chairs on the beach in Kelowna, BC, it almost seems as if nature is embracing the concept of Insights Discovery.
The next time you're out and about, keep your eyes open to see if you can see examples of the Insights four-colours in your neighbourhood.
If you do, grab a snapwshot and send it along to Insights Learning and Development. We love to see these images, and will share them with readers and workshop participants alike.
If you've captured something similar, drop us a note and send along your picture. We'll share it with readers in future newsletters.
