Leading With Passion: Understanding What Truly Drives Leaders, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD

Abstract: This comprehensive article examines the fundamental drivers of leadership motivation, arguing that while external incentives have their place, intrinsic factors such as purpose, mastery, autonomy, and relationships are the true catalysts for sustained leadership excellence. Drawing on extensive research and real-world examples from companies like SAP, Salesforce, and Dropbox, the article presents evidence-based strategies for organizations to ignite leadership passion, including aligning individual strengths with organizational missions, investing in tailored development opportunities, and cultivating autonomy-supportive environments. The article concludes that organizations which prioritize these intrinsic motivational elements create cultures where leadership potential flourishes, resulting in enhanced commitment, well-being, and performance across teams.
