There is a very bad way to motivate

Post by jrineakter »

So of course, the idea is not to manipulate others. Hey, we're not here to try to manipulate others so that they do what we want them to do. But the idea is to try to get those around us to act in a positive way for themselves first. If I take the example of my children, obviously it's for them that I want to motivate them to work at school. But also for the vision depending on the case. If we're talking about motivating employees, of course we want to serve the mission, we want to serve the mission of the company. So you see, we try to get everyone to act in a positive way that goes in the direction of the vision.

a very bad way. And the very bad way uae whatsapp number data to motivate is to force or threaten or impose. If I take the example of my children, it would be to say: "If you don't work, if you don't do your homework, I'm going to punish you." That's a very bad way to motivate. How do you expect the child to be motivated if you tell him that. So that's the bad way, to force, to threaten, to impose, to scare.

And I experienced this type of management, really fear management, in the automotive world. I worked for 9 years, almost 10 years, in the automotive industry and my client was the Renault group. I worked, I often went to Renault, I worked with people from Renault, and at that time there was really tough management. It was Carlos Ghosn who imposed that. It was management where you forced, you threatened, you scared.

And it can work a little in the short term, because people who are afraid, they are afraid of losing their job, well they may do a little more effectively, they will work maybe at 120% for a period. But of course, it is not sustainable in the long term. Already few people are capable of being at 120% all the time and it also leads to a bad atmosphere, to political games etc.
