The term motivation is used in management theory to describe forces within individuals that account for the level, direction, and persistence of effort they expend at work. Simply put, a highly motivated person works hard at a job; an unmotivated person does not.

There are various motivational methods to lead and implement this change within my area. There are three motivational theory methods that will be used to implement this change which are the goal setting theory, expectancy theory and the reinforcement theory.…
Both “The Case for Reparations” and The Marrow of Tradition, examine the issue of reparations in return for the egregious injustices committed in the form of slavery by our predecessors. The cornerstone of this problem is that after years of generational oppression and discrimination, what form will this reparation end up taking? A reparation that is based on doling out mere financial support for those that endured the brutality of slavery is unreasonable. It is an insult to the blacks that were subjugated in the slave economy of the past under the guise of racial superiority. Simply treating this issue in a one-dimensional viewpoint that can be solved through a monetary basis will not suffice and is stripping from it the aspect of humanity.…

The famous person that I chose to write about is Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford started off as a cabinetmaker. He did this job for fifteen years, just to make sure that he was able to pay his bills and put food on the table every day. Harrison Ford worked as a stagehand for The Doors, he built sound studios for Sergio Mendes, and he made cabinets for George Lucas. At the time George Lucas was not a well-known producer like he is now and he was producing the film American Graffiti. He offered Harrison Ford a small role in the film to make a little extra money and Harrison said yes. Later, as George Lucas become more famous, he asked Harrison Ford to do construction work for a bigger office. One day while doing construction, Harrison Ford was asked by George Lucas to read lines for the actors who were absent. The film just happened to be Star Wars. The off-the-cuff performance impressed Stephen Spielberg and he offered the lead role to Harrison Ford. The movie Star Wars ended up being the highest-grossing movie in history. Because of this movie Harrison Ford began a long career in Hollywood.…

Sigmund Freud, a Jewish Austrian neurologist that developed a wonderful theory in 1915 that stated all behavior is motivated and that the primary purpose of someone’s behavior was to serve the satisfaction of needs. This serves to be true in two or more situations in the common workplace. For instance, if company morale is low, there is a very slim chance that the company as a whole will be doing well. People are driven by their need to feel satisfied and wanted at the same time. Therefore, when others exhibit behavior that is non-favorable, it is most likely due to their lack of being satisfied. Behavior can either be motivated in a positive and negative direction.…
The Miller and Rollnick reading defines Motivational Interviewing as “a collaborative conversational style for strengthening a person’s own motivation and commitment to change.” However, there is so much more to it and it cannot be summed up in just one sentence. I was slightly confused on what MI was at first after hearing so much about it in class, but the ballroom dance metaphor certainly made it easier for me to understand. One person is leading the other slightly to make a change and come up with a solution, but in the end, the follower can do as he or she pleases. When faced with a choice of how to deal with an issue, most people have internal debates where things become difficult to examine clearly, but they often have an idea in mind of which path they will take.…

The treatment approach that I have decided to choose is motivational interviewing. Motivational interviewing is a treatment approach that is used in multiple settings for various populations. The main population that motivational interviewing is geared towards is: mental health, substance abuse and chronic conditions such as diabetes. The treatment approach is a method that works on facilitating and engaging intrinsic motivation within the client to make a positive change in their behavior. Motivational interviewing is goal oriented, client centered, non-judgmental and non-confrontational for the client. Motivation interviewing can be used by a therapist, but they must be able to demonstrate these four key skills: ability to ask open ended…
The motivational interviewing video provided discusses a client discussing a plan and consolidating commitment with a client. One topic related to that is envisioning. This may look like resistance, but it suggests not directly that the individual is thinking forward to what life would be like if they did make a change. The most common type of envisioning is for the client to see the problems with changing. Another form of envision would be positive envision. The therapist may also ask hypothetical questions such as, “Let’s picture what it would be like if you stopped smoking.”…
