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'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 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.
