Question:
Describe each Speaker's basic assumptions regarding employee motivation. That is, what are the underlying principles which guide how the Speaker treats his/her people (i.e., their direct report subordinates, their students, etc.), designs situations, structures jobs, communicates, etc. which positively motivate them? Describe the THEORIES of motivation (based upon those frameworks of motivation presented as part of this course) which can be applied to describe each Speaker's motivational assumptions and actions. Describe how each Speaker uses different motivational approaches for different types of people [e.g., their direct report subordinates, their students, etc.) or situations (e.g., day to day operations, in the classroom, etc.)]. From your personal perspective describe the most important LESSONS a new manager could learn from listening to each Speaker regarding how to motivate others to higher levels of performance. Compare the two speakers and describe any differences in their respective approaches to motivation which you believe might be due to their gender (i.e., male versus female) and age or generation (i.e., under 30 versus over 60 years of age).
