power of motivation

People management is an art and clicking from the first interaction is crucial.This results in dedication and a phenomenal change in attitude and response that leads to a win win situation anywhere.

This is a story of an individual who has crossed over into the 40's and looking at life with a simple approach, probably accepting the way things come to him without a whimper.State of contentment or mere subdued persona that is too mild to take on things in a more assertive if not aggressive manner.This is also due to the religion and state he hails from where docile people are found in general.Now if one allows him to float he may be happy, resigned to the fact that this is what of his life is cutout to be.

The subject individual has 22 years of professional experience behind him and is a master in the true sense of the word when it comes to handling concerns and managing relations with customers.But give him an aggressive stance within the organization, he immediately backs off.This turned out to be a deterrent in his moving on a fast track.He started his career at the lowest rung of the ladder, scaled up and as has come to a senior position thus far.The question was, where does he go say 5 years from now?How could he move on ,on the basis of the results and progress he has shown and will show in the coming years?Was his performance recognised.Was he given a chance to realize his dreams?Was he spotted as a potential talent to grow with the company he works with?Yes and no.It was more of exploitation and taken for granted approach where many things just happen.

The same individual was taken into confidence,and given his opportunity to actually deliver and earn his merits ,using all the tools available to him.A critique session and 360 degree feedback helped him bolster the confidence and he started gathering enough confidence to prove himself to the right people and press the right buttons,in turn resulting into smart work.His ability to question, take charge of situations and drive his team with a clear purpose,having laid down the ground rules in simple and clear terms made him a different persona all together.

This was an amazing turn of events and the charge, the drive complementing his skills and attitude made the place grow at a rapid pace in the same environment where he has been working for 3 years now.His way of ownership and looking at things from a business perspective measuring Return on Investments has improved the entire business dynamics.

I am so happy for him and feel nice to see winners emerging from under the shadows when they learn to spread their wings and fly on their own power,which is potential energy converted to kinetic energy.May he succeed in life and scale up notches in his career and personal life.
