Experience of Motivation in Work Life
Group Assignment: Experience of Motivation in Work life
Motivation :
The Wikipedia definition: Motivation is a psychological feature that arouses an organism to act towards a desired goal and elicits, controls, and sustains certain goal-directed behaviors. It can be considered a driving force; a psychological one that compels or reinforces an action toward a desired goal.
We discussed in our group, motivational experiences of each one of us. Everybody had a unique experience to share. We could not decide which one to choose. But one thing which was common in each story was the characteristics of the person who influenced us. The motivating person in each story was a leader who extended himself/herself to us, mentored us, and was honest, authentic, helpful and optimistic.
We had to choose one motivational experience, so we discussed and came to a conclusion to share this one:
I worked with this beautiful lady for two years. I used the word beautiful because she was beautiful at the heart. She was my manager and it was my first job. The first experience is always the one which lasts forever and luckily it was very good in my case. My manager introduced me to the team and she welcomed me on behalf of everybody. She assigned a mentor to me for first month so that I don’t feel strange in the new environment. Not only that, she came to my desk at least once a day and asked me about my experience. I felt secure and important. She always took time from her busy schedule to guide me in my work whenever I approached her for assistance. She was so humble and generous, that I never hesitated to approach her for my personal problems as well. Once I had to take off from office without a prior notice due to some emergency. I was new joiner and was worried about the consequences. But my manager listened to my problem and she handled the situation very well. She even asked me if I need any help from her side. She always encouraged me to take higher responsibilities
