“Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding;” Proverbs 3:13 (NIV)
If a famous executive or sports figure were to give a passionate motivational speech, trying to persuade people to work harder, what do you think the impact would be? Why?
If a famous executive or sports figure were to give a passionate motivational speech trying to persuade people to work harder, I think that the impact would be positive if the famous executive could relate to the audience. If the executive or sports figure was of relation and could share experiences that individuals in the audience could see themselves doing or if the speaker was in the same shoes as the audience at a given point, it would impact members of the audience to work harder. A passionate motivational speaker has to understand the needs of the people. If a famous executive inherited wealth and status such as Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian I think the audience would not be able to relate because of socialites are simply famous for being famous. An individual such as Hilton would not understand the needs or wants of the people because they were with all needs and wants met. If the executive or sports figure experienced hardships and made tremendous strides in social and economic statuses it would be a success story. People have different needs energizing and motivating them toward different goals and reinforcers. The extent to which and the ways in which a person’s needs are met or not met at work affect his or her behavior on the job. (Bateman p. 480) An individual’s also has to believe that he or she can complete a task as well.
