5. Motivation is like fire unless you keep adding fuel to it, it
dies. Just like exercise and food don't last long, neither does
motivation. However, if the source of motivation is belief in
inner values, it becomes long--lasting.
Experience has shown that people will do a lot for money,
more for a good leader, and do most for a belief. We see this
happening every day all over the world. People will die for a
belief
8. A company wanted to set up a pension plan. In order for the plan
to be installed, it needed 100% participation. Everyone signed up
except John. The plan made sense and was in the best interest of
everyone. John not signing was the only obstacle. Johns
supervisor and other co-workers had tried to persuade him
without success. The owner of the company called John into his
office and said ????????????
"John, here is a pen and these are the papers for you to sign to
enroll into the pension plan. If you don't enroll, you are fired this
minute."
9. Fear Motivation
John signed right away. The owner asked John why he hadn't
signed earlier. John replied, "No one explained the plan quite as
clearly as you did.
10. Incentive motivation shift the emphasis from the internal
"pushes" to external "pulls.“
The major advantage is that it can work very well as long as
the incentive is strong enough.
11. Internal motivation is the inner gratification, not for success
or winning, but for the fulfillment that comes from having
done it. It is a feeling of accomplishment, rather than just
achieving a goal.
Internal motivation is lasting, because it comes from within
and translates into self motivation.

14. Stage 1. Motivated Ineffective
A new employee in a new organization. Professional
organizations take care while inducting people and explain
them the following;
Hierarchy,
Expectations from each other ,
Do’s and don’ts,
Parameters and guidelines,
What is acceptable and what is not,
What are the resources.
Stage 2. Motivated Effective
The learned employee does the work with drive and energy
15. Stage 3. Demotivated Effective
Here the motivation level goes down and employee only
does the work which is needed by the employer. This is
detrimental to growth. Most of the employees fall into this
category a motivated one learns the trade and leaves the
tricks to cheats and crooks but a demotivated one starts
impairing the company.
Stage 4. Demotivated Ineffective
An employer does not have much choice but to fire the
employee
16. Unfair criticism
Negative criticism
Public humiliation
Rewarding the non performer which can be demotivating for
the performer

Success which leads to complacence
Lack of direction
Lack of measurable objectives

Lack of priorities
18. What we really want to accomplish is self-motivation, when
people do things for their own reasons and not yours. That is
lasting motivation.
Remember, the greatest motivator is belief. We have to
inculcate in ourselves the belief that we are responsible for
our actions and behavior.
When people accept responsibility, everything improves:
quality, productivity, relationships and teamwork.
19. Give recognition
Give respect
Make work interesting
Be a good listener
Throw a challenge
Help but don't do for others what they should do for
themselves

Set clear, measurable benchmarks
Evaluate the needs of others

being a positive role model. Build the self-esteem of others.
