MOTIVATING AND DEMOTIVATING EFFECTS

                                                            MOTIVATORS

               WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO ACCOMPLISH IS SELF-MOTIVATION, WHEN PEOPLE DO THINGS FOR THEIR REASONS AND NOT YOURS. THAT IS LASTING MOTIVATION.

             REMEMBER THE GREATEST MOTIVATOR IS BELIEF. WE HAVE TO INCULCATE FOR OUR ACTIONS AND BEHAVIOR. WHEN PEOPLE ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY, EVERYTHING IMPROVES, QUALITY, PRODUCTIVITY, RELATIONSHIPS AND TEAMWORK.

                                           A FEW STEPS TO MOTIVATE OTHERS:

                 👀 GIVE RECOGNITION

                👀 GIVE RESPECT

                👀 BE A GOOD LISTENER

                👀 ENCOURAGE GOAL SETTING

                👀 PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH

                👀 PROVIDE TRAINING

                👀 THROW A CHALLENGE

                👀 HELP, BUT DON'T DO FOR OTHERS WHAT THEY SHOULD DO FOR                                                THEMSELVES

                                                                    CONCLUSION

                             

             PEOPLE DO THINGS FOR THEIR OWN REASONS, NOT YOURS. THIS IS ILLUSTRATED BY A STORY ABOUT RALPH WALDO EMERSON. HE AND HIS SON ONCE WERE STRUGGLING TO GET A CALF INTO THE BARN. BOTH FATHER AND SON WERE EXHAUSED, PULLING AND PUSHING. A LITTLE GIRL WAS PASSING BY. SHE PUT HER LITTLE FINGER INTO THE CALF'S MOUTH, ALLOWING IT TO SUCK, AND THE CALF LOVINGLY FOLLOWED HER TO THE BARN.

                                                    MOTIVATED INEFFECTIVE

                   WHEN IS AN EMPLOYEE MOST MOTIVATED IN THE CYCLE OF EMPLOYMENT? WHEN HE JOINS AN ORGANIZATION. WHY? BECAUSE HE WANTS TO PROVE THAT BY HIRING HIM. THE EMPLOYER MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. HE IS MOTIVATED BUT BECAUSE HE IS NEW TO THE ENVIRONMENT. BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO HE IS INEFFECTIVE.

                THIS IS THE STAGE WHEN THE EMPLOYEE IS MOST OPENMINDED, RECETIVE AND EASY TO MOLD TO  THE CULTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION. TRAINING AND ORIENTATION BECOME IMPERATIVE.

                UNPROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE NO, OR VERY POOR, ORIENTATION PROGRAMS. THE FIRST DAY AT THE JOB, THE SUPERVISOR SHOWS THE NEW EMPLOYEE HIS PLACE OF WORK AND TELLS HIM WHAT TO DO THE LEAVES. HE TEACHES ALL THE BAD ALONGWITH THE GOOD THAT HE IS DOING. THE NEW EMPLOYEE QUICKLY LEARNS ALL THE MISTAKES THE SUPERVISOR IS MAKING BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HE HAS BEEN TAUGHT. THE ORGANISATION LOSES THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOLD THE INDIVIDUAL TO ITS CULTURE.

                 PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS ON THE OTHER HAND, TAKE SPECIAL CARE TO INDUCT PEOPLE THEIR ORGANIZATIONS. THEY EXPLAIN TO THEM, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE FOLLOWING:

                     

                               ❤ THE HIERARCHY

                              ❤ EXPECTATIONS OF EACH OTHER

                              ❤ DO'S AND DONT'S

                              ❤ PARAMETERS AND GUIDELINES

                              ❤ WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE AND WHAT IS NOT

                              ❤ THE RESOURCES 

                  HOW CAN ONE EXPECT PERFORMANCE UNLESS EXPECTATIONS ARE MADE CLEAR UP FRONT?  IF INDUCTION AND ORIENTATION ARE DONE WELL, MANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WOULD NOT SURFACE AT ALL.

                                                           DEMOTIVATED EFFECTIVE

                AFTER SOME TIME THE MOTIVATION LEVEL GOES DOWN AND THE EMPLOYEES STARTS LEARNING THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE. THIS IS THE STAGE WHEN THE EMPLOYEE IS NOT MOTIVATED. HE CONTINUES DOING JUST ENOUGH SO THAT THE EMPLOYER HAS NO REASON TO FIRE HIM BUT HE IS REALLY NOT MOTIVATED.

                 THIS STAGE IS DETRIMENTAL TO GROWTH-MOST PEOPLE IN ORGANIZATIONS FALL INTO THIS THIRD STAGE. A MOTIVATED PROFESSIONAL LEARNS THE TRADE AND LEAVES THE TRICKS TO CHEATS AND CROOKS, BUT A DEMOTIVATED EMPLOYEES STARTS SABOTAGING THE COMPANY. HIS PERFORMANCE IS MARGINAL. HE MAKES FUN OF THE GOOD PERFORMANCE IS MARGINAL. HE MAKES FUN OF THE GOOD PERFORMERS. HE REJECTS NEW IDEAS AND SPREADS THE NEGATIVITY ALL AROUND.

               OUR OBJECTIVES IS TO BRING THEM BACK TO THE SECOND STAGE OF MOTIVATED EFFECTIVE THROUGH TRAINING. AN EMPLOYEE OUGHT NOT TO SAY IN THE THIRD STAGE TOO LONG, BECAUSE FROM HERE EITHER MAY MOVE BACK TO THE SECOND STAGE, WHICH IS BEING MOTIVATED AND EFFECTIVE, OR THEY MOVE INTO THE FOURTH STAGE.

                                                        DEMOTIVATED INEFFECTIVE

                    AT THIS STAGE, THE EMPLOYER DOES NOT HAVE MUCH CHOICE BUT TO FIRE THE EMPLOYEE, WHICH MAY BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE THING TO DO ANYWAY AT THIS POINT.

                 REMEMBER EMPLOYEES WANT THE SAME THING AS EMPLOYEES DO. THEY WANT TO SUCCEED AND IMPROVE BUSINESS, AND IF EMPLOYEES HELP IN THIS OBJECTIVE, THEN THEY MAKE THEMSELVES VALUABLE AND ACHIEVE THEIR WON SUCCESS.

                                                      DEMOTIVATING FACTORS

                      WHY DO PEOPLE MOVE FROM INITIALLY MOTIVATED STAGE TO DEMOTIVATED? SOME OF THE DEMOTIVATING FACTORS ARE:

                  

                                 👀 UNFAIR CRITICISM

                                 👀 NEGATIVE CRITICISM

                                 👀 PUBLIC HUMILIATION

                                 👀 REWARDING THE NON-PERFORMERS(WHICH CAN BE                                                                     DEMOTIVATING FOR THE PERFORMERS)

                                 👀 FAILURE OR FEAR OF FAILURE

                                 👀 SUCCESS (WHICH LEADS TO COMPLACENCE)

                                 👀 LACK OF DIRECTION

                                 👀 LACK OF MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES

                                 👀 LOW SELF-ESTEEM

                                 👀 LACK OF PRIORITIES

                                 👀 NEGATIVE SELF-TALK

                                 👀 OFFICE POLITICS

                                 👀 UNFAIR POLITICS

                                 👀 UNFAIR TREATMENT

                                 👀 HYPOCRISY

                                 👀 POOR STANDARDS

                                 👀 FREQUENT CHANGE

                                 👀 RESPONSIBILITY WITHOUT AUTHORITY

                             A SATISFIED PERSON IS NOT NECESSARILY A MOTIVATED PERSON. SOME PEOPLE ARE SATISFIED WITH VERY LITTLE. IN THIS CASE, SATISFACTION MAY LEAD TO COMPLACENCE. MOTIVATION COMES FROM EXCITEMENT AND EXCITEMENT DOES NOT COME UNLES THERE IS FULL COMMITMENT.

                                  NEW METHODS OF MOTIVATION WILL NOT WORK TILL THE DEMOTIVATING FACTORS ARE REMOVED. MANY TIMES, JUST REMOVING THE DEMOTIVATING FACTORS CAN SPARK MOTIVATION.
