Hot air balloons rise as the burner is released. But eventually they begin to fall and need to be refilled. They must continue to be filled in order to go up. People are like this. As we learned in this modules seminar, team members must be consistently encouraged, or motivated, in order to reach their highest potential. The word encourage literally means to inspire courage. Encouragement is more than creating warm and fuzzy feelings. It is about helping others overcome obstacles, see a new perspective, and reach for their goals. There is no one size fits all guide to know the best times to encourage others, but together let us use this discussion to share our ideas. QUESTION: Make a specific example when a leader would need to fill other peoples balloons and how you would do this based on cultural differences.
