Briefly identify and explain the two new ideas in motivation that have emerged in the past decade.

Answers will vary. Two new ideas in motivation have emerged in the past decade. One centers on eustress, strength, and hope. A second new idea centers on positive energy and full engagement. Eustress is healthy, normal stress. Stress is the energy we experience when confronted with challenging or difficult situation. Such situations can produce distress, a negative response such as frustration or fear, which leads to unhealthy and unproductive results, or eustress, a positive response to challenges that generates energy and motivates an individual to achieve. Eustress leads us to invest in strengths, find meaning in work, display courage and principled action, and draw on positive emotions at work. The second new concept in motivation, Jim Loehr's full engagement idea, uses lessons learned from professional athletes. The central tenets are that an individual should manage energy rather than time and should strategically disengage from certain activities to balance the power of full engagement.
