Motivation

Aptitude test are a good way to tell if your going to be successful not motivated. Grades in school can tell you how motivated you are. I feel you can be book smart all you want. What about experience? What life lessons has prepared for the real business world? You have met deadlines, come up with some off the wall ways to promote your business to make your business successful. It's how creative you are. It's also how bad you want something that will give you the drive, the passion to be successful. When people understand what you want and why you want it, thier more than likely to be more motivated.

When motivating employees you sometimes have to show a little tough love. They have to know who's in charge and that there is consequences for not doing things right. In the end leaders have followers. If they like what your doing they will help you acheive anything.

I agree that thinkers do go to university and doers go to schools like vatterott. No not all thinkers are doctors and art majors and doers accounting and physical education. Thats stereo typing. To do any job easier be creative. I myself am a doer. I like to put others plans into action. Find mistakes and make appropriate changes. So yes you can be both a thinker and doer. So if you have employees that are doers give them something to do. If they are thinkers give them problems to solve.
