Passionate leaders are often confused when there teams have low engagement or suffer from motivation fatigue. In my experience the workplace language is loaded with hyperbole, using words like rockstar and incredible and phenomenal. Leaders may mean well, but choosing your language better, being more sincere, speaking with people not at them and finding common motivation ideas brings teams into high engagement and high motivation. No one wants to see their leaders stand up at the next company meeting and rattle off 10 hyperboles just because they think as the leader that's what the people response best to. Stop already, there are better ways to motivate and get true engagement.

When leaders lead with purpose and passion motivation and engagement have a flow on effect. Employees act with enthusiasm and motivation towards their work.

A high-performance work culture can then be formed, where people are less likely to become bored. Team members not only feel like their work matters, but them as people.

Would you follow a paper bag with no personality? No, and neither would anyone else. Authentic passion is something others can feel. It can't be faked, and it's obvious when it is. Be yourself and allow others to see your passion for the topic. Follow your instincts and don’t try to be someone else.

To me, true success is let necessarily measure by the amount of wealth or status one accumulates, but the positive impact you can have the world, and/or people around you.
