Motivation Upside-Down

The common belief is that managers, leaders and heads of organizations are responsible to effectively motivate people. Is this always true?

I feel it is the guys up there who actually need the motivation and the butter words to get them up and keep them going. Bitter words coming down and butter words going up – what difference can it make?

Believe me – A LOT!!!!

Have you ever thought that they too occasionally need a thumb up and a pat on the back. They may not always want to admit it but it sure is the case. Have, you ever thought that they too need a change in the day? All praise coming down and nothing going up after a job well done. It is a pity. No wonder that bosses are not always as productive as the subordinates. There’s no one to motivate them…

So because there is no one up there, it is in the hands of the lower and middle management to motivate the upstairs. That’s a privilege and in it self a motivation to you. Let’s stop criticizing and start looking at positives. May be overemphasis on the positives will eventually cause the negatives to be forgotten and left behind forever.
