With wrong examples around, people are bound to underperform, get de-motivated and hence, disengaged. Your thinking, approach, method, statements and actions are your tools to ensure that they derive the “right” meaning that helps them become more engaged with their work, be more productive and stay motivated. Works wonders.

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.
