And granted, most managers haven't been given any training on people skills, consider the possibility that is shouldn't be the managers job to motivate. People should be motivated by there moral compass. Each person should strive to attain one more level without outside persuasion. Managers, should be able to trust their people to get their job done without looking over their shoulders. Managers need to spend the time evaluating the processes to improve efficiency in order to produce more with less effort. Now, management needs to have in place some rules that will guide people to a more efficient work force. Some of these rules are obvious,like safety and others are more sensitive like work place romance. But the bottom line is set the expectations and simple expect it. If your team members aren't a team, get some that are. Teams, work toward a common goal if a goal is set for them. Again, a mangers duty.....set the goals above the current status quo, thereby challenging people to be better. Holding a teams hands or watching them like a vulture is inefficient..... By the way, the Bible tells all of us how to strive for that next better level of performance. Motivating people is a full time job.

I've been trying to sell my art as a vendor and it's been pretty slow. I end up leaving each day feeling discouraged, I'm not sure how to motivate myself so I look for outside wisdom. I agree that you have to get rid of the junk to make the machine run well. I like the idea of starting anew again, a fresh start but I invested many years in my craft and right now my misery is affecting my passion, so I'm trying to take things slowly. I sure wish I can find out how to connect with my art with people, that would be a start. <abbr><em>Josh’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/1226359683s9529/new_art/~3/9C1NJ5x7BnU/el-santuario-de-chimayo-20x24-oil-on-boardi-wanted-to-show-this-painting-i-had-done-because-i-thought-it.html" rel="nofollow">When having great respect for mother nature is essential.</a></abbr></em> I just started reading about motivation, because I’m having a terrible time becoming motivated, especially with my art.

The advice is often an important triggering mechanism, but it's totally up to the person to allow themselves to be in a state to be effected by that insight. Or it's up to the individual to run with it. I'm glad you enjoyed the post and thanks for sharing your thoughts. Eric Exactly, Bamboo!
