When work environments consistently fail to provide the direction, resources and respect employees require, their innate desire to achieve is suppressed or redirected. They experience frustration and a kind of learned helplessness. They become motivated to retain their jobs rather than to perform them in a way that delivers optimal value to the organization. This is a common and predictable problem. Once employees escape such a discouraging work environment, their motivation to deliver optimal value for their organization reemerges-- sometimes as they go over to a competitor.
Fortunately, and for the most part, we've been spared the organization motivational speaker-guy. We make up for it, though, with sexual harassment training.... a right or a privilege?
