It drains the energy! Motivate others : Motivate others to raise their game. When working with the team, be cheerful and make things more interesting that way. Don’t talk small : You have a goal to achieve as a team. Don’t let that focus dilute with small talks and gossiping. Be generous when praising. Say ‘Thanks’ often.

We need to decide how to best divide energies—whom to feed first. Do what has to be done and don’t waste energy on fear that undermines performance— unless the doubt is a nagging hunch of a wrong direction! Patience seems to run counter to what motivates promoters! Perhaps this is an issue of confidence.
