Ishwar said, there are seven things that motivate us in career. Three of them are autonomy, mastery, and purpose. "Usually we will be motivated if we have a role, feel developed, and can contribute something for someone else," he explained. Another things that can motivate are variation, friends, focus, and close to the workplace.
Beside choosing jobs according to the personality, EQ training is also essential in building a career. According to Danang, one of the team, EQ skills necessary for each individual are self awareness, self management, social awareness, and relationship management. "The bottom line is You EQ I, that means we should consider ourselves equal to the other," he added.
