Your 4th point about December and January being strong hiring months is absolutely correct and should serve as renewed motivation when a job seeker begins to lose steam. My only caveat – you need to be self motivated to succeed. Sometimes an adverse situation can be turned to an advantage.

I totally think it's important to learn to think about subjects that are not necessarily applicable to a job, and am motivated to do so on my own. Maybe back in 2004 or 1999.

I'm starting to see posts that seem to suggest that motivation should be all stick, no carrot. By doing so you can motivate to produce even superb results. A vague compliment tells you nothing; a specific one tells you what to do more of. Similarly, a vague criticism is meaningless, while a specific one tells you what to correct.

I think it's important to not make people feel bad or stupid when they ask questions – intimidation doesn't motivate learning. It was forming as they asked it or became more clear while they were forming it (out loud). It's sometimes scary to ask a question – no one wants to look dumb, ill-prepared, etc.

If you inspire someone to do a good job you've internally motivated them and they'll likely exceed your expectations. If you order someone to do a good job, they likely will (if they're capable) but do no more, being externally motivated. Leading is about inspiring, not ordering. Everything has been handed to them.
