Post a description of a positive professional experience when you felt motivated to perform at your best and a description of a challenging professional experience when you did not feel very motivated to perform. Be sure to include what were the sources of motivation in both experiences. Then explain what each experience taught you about the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on your performance and the motivations that are the main sources of job satisfaction for you.
As you are analyzing your motivations and sources of job satisfaction, consider the advice that was reportedly given to U.S. President John F. Kennedy:
"A great man is one sentence."
—Clare Boothe Luce
After you post your descriptions, write your one sentence that captures how you define your purpose or main priority on which you want to focus to make your organization, community, or the world a better place. Think about the legacy you want to leave or how you want to be remembered, or what makes you want to get out of bed each day.
Hint: Your sentence should emphasize how you want other to see you. For example, your sentence might be: Jane Rivera founded a company that gave back to the community and served a role model for young entrepreneurs. Or, Travis Williams’ family and friends could always count on his unconditional support.
Provide your assessment of why you chose your sentence and what it means to you.
