Motivation is a state-of-mind filled with energy and enthusiasm which helps people to work on or achieve their goals. It is crucial to understand what drives you to work towards your particular goal. It is important in everyday life but it is even necessary in business and management.
There are a lot of branches of how people can be motivated, but there are two most important: extrinsic factors and intrinsic factors. With extrinsic factors, people are motivated by bonuses for hard work or sanctions if a job is not done. The best tools to improve motivation are rewards, trust, recognition, career advancement and purpose.
With intrinsic factors, people are motivated by a desire to satisfy human needs, like a desire to please your boss or achieve personal goals. But the majority of the people are motivated by a combination of extrinsic and intrinsic factors including money, recognition, power, passion and meaning.

Module VII. Coping with ambiguity & uncertainty risk
Uncertainty, ambiguity, and risk are all concepts that relate to situations where we do not have complete knowledge or information, and the outcome is unknown or unpredictable.
Uncertainty refers to a lack of knowledge or information about what will happen in the future. It can result from various factors, such as incomplete information, unpredictability, or complexity. Uncertainty is a common experience in many aspects of life, including career choices, financial investments, health decisions, and personal relationships.
Ambiguity refers to situations where there are multiple possible interpretations of events or information. It can arise from unclear communication, differing perspectives, or complexity. Ambiguity can create confusion and make it difficult to make informed decisions, especially in situations where there is a need for clarity.
Risk refers to the likelihood and consequences of negative outcomes occurring. It involves making decisions based on uncertain or incomplete information and weighing potential negative consequences against potential benefits. Risk can be calculated or subjective, and the level of risk that an individual or organization is willing to accept can vary depending on their circumstances, goals, and values.
