#14: You cannot motivation others
Work bit 1: Have you ever tried to motivate someone else? If so, stop trying, because you cannot. Motivation is an internal desire. The best you can do is to convince others that an action is desirable; the rest is up to them.
Work bit 2: Some mangers still think they can motivate you by giving you a ‘bigger’ job. But there are two ways to make a job ‘bigger’ and their favorite one is to give you more-of-the-same job.
Work bit 3: Having more of the same job is called job enlargement. Often re-engineering and downsizing are used to make your job bigger so that you end up working harder - and feeling less motivated.
Work bit 4: On the other hand, job enrichment happens when you are ‘stretched’ to take on more of the management and decision aspects of your job. You end up working smarter – and feeling more motivated.
