Alexander's commitment was transferred to his soldiers. They believed in him His soldiers became inspired and were able to accomplish what no other army in the world could do. Although the world has changed a great deal since Alexander's time the dynamics of inspiration and leadership have not. Nowhere is the importance of inspiration and leadership more evident than in business. Successful businesses are driven to higher levels of production and profitability by inspired leadership.
Successful businesses help motivate their employees to motivate themselves.
Unfortunately we feel we no longer have leaders that inspire. Many younger people are inspired by highly paid athletes. Employees often feel management is more interested in management than in employees. Sadly, this is often the case. Many managers, perhaps the majority, look at their own careers as the top priority.
