Effective Motivation
Why be good, when you can be GREAT?
We have to admit it – sometimes our goals are just a little above mediocre. All we want is to finish, to meet the deadline and to move to the next. As a result, we perform our work technically, mechanically – just precisely how it should be done without any extra effort. While it is not bad that we do this because of our desire to move forward, we tend to compromise the quality of our work. We get contented with the remark “Good!†when we can actually receive the remark “Great!â€
It’s not really so much of getting the remark “Great!†but it’s more of maximizing your potentials and of bringing quality performance to your job. It is best if you do well not because of the commendation you’ll get but because you aim to be a better person in your job. With such an attitude, you might as well infect your co-workers to be the same. Set aside competition, or preferably, stick to a friendly one. Encourage your co-workers that if each one performs his best, the end result will be so much better. Settling for GOOD results is not so good anymore especially when you can be GREAT.
