Motivation is "a passion to work for reasons other than money or status, such as finding joy in the task itself." (Dubrin&Dalglish, 2003). In other word, motivation is a mixture of need and energy aiming at achieving a goal.


Leader can motivate or develop moral such as emotional state for their workers in a team spirit when a problem occur. Good leader will motivate and try to make a challenging job, exciting, and meaningful for their workers. People need a meaningful work and need to know that it is essential for the survival of each individual and organization.

Interpersonal influence is also an important key in leadership. Having only to motivate, inspire, and influence workers sometime is not enough to achieve a company goal. The interpersonal skills between leader and worker are very important in leadership and work environment.


Leader must get workers that will accept what you have in mind and work hard to achieve a goal. Workers must trust their leader before they can be motivated, inspired, and influenced.
