The Role and Areas of Shaping Motivation in Leadership

The power of motivation is intrinsically linked to the action, the teaching-learning process. It concerns both the external as well as the internal sphere. It depends on the strategies adopted by the leader, but also on many other factors affecting the subordinate, which are indirectly influenced by the attitude of the leader. The motivation to act and develop is reflected in the way the subordinate sees the objectives set by the commander, as well as the tasks and the feelings experienced in relation to these tasks, which is reflected in the quality of the performance of the tasks assigned. The internal psychological forces by which we do what we do (motives) constitute certain subjective dispositions that drive people to behave in a certain way and are influenced by both internal and external factors, mainly shaped by the leader. Motivation refers to all the processes involved in experiencing a need or desire and in reducing the intensity of the need experienced, and thus occupies a very important place in the formation of effective leadership.
