People think their work situation is so complicated and I have to understand all the motivators. I have been thinking about your problem some more and I think I understand why you didn't come up with the solution I had (to get your own office in town) on your own. He tells me that I have a problem and I need to get over it.

A lot of us spend way too much time trying to mind-read to figure out what motivates the crazy normal people around us…which is distracting and depressing. And she's stuck and not finding solutions.

Telling myself to shut up wasn't the most healthy solution, but the truth is that being such an intense extrovert, I had never taken the time to be quiet and observe.

I guess there’s no real solution besides maybe trying to understand other people’s priorities. It is quite difficult to motivate me on a Sunday but you have me thinking hard and reading like crazy.

And each of your break-ups has been motivated by fear of this growth and change, rather than by nastiness or gossip. We play hide and seek with our own motives. Awareness of every single motive, of all the biological/physiological mechanisms and sensory signals bombarding us would paralyze our capacity to act decisively.

Inspiration and motivation are the factors that differentiate a leader from a boss, in my opinion. "Hope and Change" are not solutions. Change is a solution. I have been happiest in my career while working under an inspirational leader and inversely the most miserable when I have worked for a dream crushing boss.
