Motivation is the fire in your engine. Sales is the transfer of motivation from one person to another. Without that fire, you can't make yourself move in any direction - let alone help someone else get moving. If you're not getting your motivation from somewhere else, that's called vision. If you can sell that vision effectively, they will call you a leader. If you lead well, you will succeed. But it all comes back to the source of your motivation.
The document proposes an open textbook initiative for the California Community Colleges. It aims to address the high cost of textbooks by developing free and low-cost open textbooks for high-enrollment courses. The initiative would pilot open textbooks in subjects like economics and business. It estimates the initiative could save California community college students millions of dollars per year in textbook costs and help offset tuition increases. The proposal discusses benefits for students, faculty and the state if the initiative is adopted.
This document summarizes research on defining and analyzing culture through the lens of psychology. It discusses defining culture, using moderation and mediation analyses to unpack cultural elements, measures of individual-level self-representation like self-construal, the influence of culture on cognition, emotion, and motivation, and challenges in experimentally manipulating culture. The overall goal is to advance the scientific study of how culture operates at the individual level to influence social psychological outcomes.
This document discusses dimensions and paradigms of development. It addresses global issues like instability, inequality, poverty and food insecurity as well as overuse of resources and climate change. The document then outlines several development paradigms, including low-wage industry-led, agriculture-based, endogenous growth-based, rural development, emigration-based, immigration-based, FDI-based, and foreign aid-based approaches.
