Working Inquiry Question: How do leaders use language to motivate people.
I want to research different techniques used to motivate people. The reason I chose to look in to motivation for my inquiry project is because I love sports. In sports it doesn't matter how talented a team is sometimes they just can live up to their potential and I believe that the reason for this is because they don’t have the right person leading and motivating them to work their hardest. I personal have a lot of experience with this from playing sports my whole life. I've many different coaches throughout my life and some were just able to get me to perform at levels I didn't think that I could. When I began playing football my sophomore year of high school I had a coach that was able to get the best of me so much so that it looked like I was going to be the clear cut favorite to be the starter my junior year. The summer going into my junior year he was switched to the offensive side of the ball and I never really performed the way I knew I could. I liked the coached that replaced him more, personally, but he just never motivated me to get better, and I felt comfortable where I was at. I really want to how people are able to motivate other people, specifically in professional sports because coaches have to be able to motivate adults who are already making money regardless of what happens. I know you have to be self-motivated but it’s not enough sometimes. The thing that I know about motivating or motivators is that I believe the person is born with it, but the thing that I want to know is what is it that that person does that makes people want to try their hardest for them. I came up with this topic while watching a football game involving a team that has a lot of individual talent but can’t put it all together and win. As I was watching it I just thought that they don’t look like they want to win. The only question I have about this topic is whether or not there are specific techniques used to motivate others.
What techniques are used by leaders to motivate others to try their hardest?
