Are you a Glowing Ember fading or growing ever brighter? Successful people think and act differently. This is the basic premise in all ZFactor books. 

"If we don't change, we will end up with the same behaviors and conversations we've been having for decades. At some point we have to ask, 'If we keep doing things the way we've been doing them for the past 40 years, why would we expect anything to get better?'  ~ Dr. David Facer

This article is bang on and comes at a crucial time for businesses. Old-style motivation and endless metrics to track results will not produce the results we all desire in today's environment. Thinking and acting differently are the keys to seeing motivation in new ways. Salespeople in particular, are motivated by being fully engaged in work that affords them a sense of autonomy, an environment to contribute personally to a worthy objective, and the opportunity to make a difference.

I recommend this article to everyone in business and then to engage in some deep thinking about how to develop a new mindset.

Thanks, Thomas - appreciate the comments. The best "motivators" in my life always had the right thing to say at the right time and for the right reason.
