Motivation is a funny thing in business.

Often when we have the full intent on doing something, we have no problem staying motivated.

But when someone else mentions it, we lose interest.

So how do we avoid demotivating employees?

By allowing the idea to remain with them.

Instead of saying, “Are you going to finish those TPS reports by lunch?”

Try “I always appreciate when you get reports in on time.”

Zero blame or accusations and replaced by praise and appreciation.
