Motivation by fear or desire

It is important to know that you can use fear and desire to motivate yourself and others.

Have you been managed by someone who uses fear (threat, bullying) as a management method?

Have you been managed by someone who uses desire (goals, goals, and rewards) as the primary tool for management?

In the short term, even if fear plays a role in stimulating factors, it may be even better, but what about the long-term impact of people motivating fear?

Fear and desire are good motives. Fear is a negative force, so fear is not as good as you want. A long-lasting unsustainable desire is a positive motive because it is a positive force with infinite durability.

We think that everything is inspired by different things, but in general most people are usually out of fear and desire. For example, if your company feels that a temporary dismissal will come after a tough time, you may start looking for other jobs for fear. You may also be motivated to want something again - maybe it's wanting you to buy a new home or maybe you want to end the year with the most sales on the team. I would like to share a very strong motive with you. I call it EBM (motivation based on emotion). When I was a student athlete at Lehigh University, I practiced a lot of EBM and relied on it to succeed in the classroom, the weight room, and the football stadium.

In general, there are two basic motivations for love / craving for health and fear. For decades and for centuries, we have fallen into a comfort zone that addresses both the desire to maintain the health that we achieved or acquired and the fear of losing it. The problem of comfort zone is that the factors are constantly changing, and today's work way does not work at all. So, when we find the official for success, happiness, wealth, and health, we are frustrated with the new challenges we did not have before.
