You can buy a person’s time and work, but you cannot buy their enthusiasm, effort, and passion. Those are earned, and as such, given freely.

About This Quote

"You can buy a person's time and work, but you cannot buy their enthusiasm, effort, and passion. Those are earned, and as such, given freely. If you want to keep someone with you for the long-term, it is important to provide them with opportunities for growth and development. A leader who does not provide this opportunity doesn’t have a competitive advantage over other leaders.
