Zig Ziglar said:
Motivation is when you inspire a person to do something for their own good,
Manipulation is when you get a person to do something for your good, and
Leadership is when you persuade a person to take action which is in your mutual best interests.
Good definitions!
[I feel motivation comes from within and not from other people…however, that point of debate does not reduce the value of Zig Ziglar’s definitions.]
