Short YouTube motivational message by Louis Massaro arguing that action precedes motivation for leaders: deliberately behaving and performing leadership actions (walking through the office, acknowledging people, carrying oneself as a leader) creates the motivational state needed to lead rather than waiting to feel motivated.
If you don't have the motivation for leadership, you know, one of the best things you could do to get motivation with anything is to take action. So that simple act of having to force myself to walk through the office as the leader, conducting myself as the leader, carrying myself as the leader, acknowledging people as the leader, set the tone for the rest of the day. Because action precedes motivation. Motivation. We can't wait for that to strike, to say, I'm not motivated to be a leader. Today, we put one foot in front of the other. We take the steps that we need to take and trust in the process that we will get to where we need to be to be a leader.
