#2 Leadership Motivation

Leaders have the natural want to lead people. It is something that is programmed internally. Leaders tend to be more extraverted individuals and are related to leadership emergence and leadership effectiveness. With leadership motivation, it is important to leaders to have a priority need for power and a position that is in leadership rather than a follower. This need for power helps to influence others, maintain interests and satisfaction with the process of leadership. In order to inspire their followers to be more trustful, respectful and more committed to their vision, leaders must exercise their power in a moral and ethical manner.
