Money is not the ONLY motivator.

These are my very simple-to-understand value-influenced positions.

Michael : Guess Jesus, Gandhi, Mandela, Mother Theresa, and countless more; whose selflessness the world has to thank for the little good, never should have gotten going at all.

Samuel : It is perfectly okay for you to elaborate a bit more. Thanks.

Patience : I used those references because I have known you for that Chief....Well, it’s not the only motivator, but to most it is the Major motivator. However, am open to learning more about the difference between destination and vehicle but surely the vehicle will need fuel, maintenance and spare tyre (useful networks and money) while traveling to the destiny. Which still goes back to money as the major facilitator on the Journey to our destiny......?

Samuel : Thank you a lot. You have now cracked the nut beautifully by calling money a major FACILITATOR, not a major MOTIVATOR.

Michael : Had they had money as the key motivation?

Samuel : You could as well share what your convictions about them are. [I am] listening eagerly. Oh, thanks for agreement when putting on "Christian shoes." Do you mind sharing about the other shoes you put on in changing posts to another ideology/philosophy altogether?

Phoebe : @Samuel . That is my stand. It has nothing to do with Christianity whatsoever. These are real life situations. We should not assume that everyone in our organizations ascribes to a leader's line of thought or beliefs. That is why company policies should take root in favour of all employees...Christian, Moslem, atheist, whatever it is. People are looking for ways to develop and money definitely rides development on both micro and macro levels.

Samuel : Well, I was not talking about all of THEM. I was talking about YOU as Phoebe . I am glad you have made it clear which worldview you advanced that from. That said, friends, to be Managers worth following, we need to ensure that our mouth does not blow both cold and warm air with the same breath - unless we become proponents of a thought pattern that Managers do not need to have (lead with) integrity at all... That they can BE one thing and DO another. In my understanding, our management styles flow out of who WE (not THEY) are. I suggest that we miss a key point for managerial success when all we focus on is:

✳ what THEY want,

✳what THEY do not want,

✳how THEY want to be led,

✳where THEY want to go,

✳when THEY wish to (or not to) work, etc.

Managers also have a stand, a position, values, principles, etc. And I propose that this is where management meets leadership - a reason why there are new global human capital development efforts to "produce" manager-leaders.

There has to be a delicate balance between the people's preferences (according to the known tenets of behavioural motivation, organizational development and people-management) and the substantial role of the manager-leader in casting the vision or continuously keeping it before the eyes of the team.
