Passion Powers Performance

Motivation defines how we feel about what we do and influences how our passion is sustained. It’s the emotional energy that drives success.

While intrinsic motivation (doing something for the love of it) enhances our sense of well-being even in the face of setbacks, goal-identified or achievement motivation mobilizes energy through discipline and persistence, increasing our chances of success. Together, in one person or embodied in members of a project team, achievement motivation and intrinsic motivation are a powerful duo. Read more about motivation in the workplace.
