Quotes from the same author

Motivation is not a thinking word; it's a feeling word.
 John P. Kotter
Outsiders have the intuitive ability to continually view problems in fresh ways and to identify ineffective practices and traditions.

Motivation and inspiration energize people, not by pushing them in the right direction as control mechanisms do but by satisfying basic human needs for achievement, a sense of belonging, recognition, self-esteem, a feeling of control over one's life, and the ability to live up to one's ideals. Such feelings touch us deeply and elicit a powerful response.
