How to talk real and motivate your team in "Recession"

In order to motivate teams the respective team leaders tends to show dreams to their fellow members. They give false hopes of increment, promotion or foreign business trip but it backfires badly sometimes if the respective company's top managers are not "That Appreciative" :)

If the members work just as they were expected to and, then if they don't receive what they were made to dream of! They get really pissed of and loses any kind of loyalty towards the company and sincerity in their work. They feel they were being cheated and so at this point in time its very difficult to gain them back on your side. So be careful before making employees or team members dream!

The right approach is to tell them about the reality, and tell them when the good times return i.e. "post-recession" their present day stand with the company and the understanding they showed now, will surely be appreciated. This will make the employees and team members feel motivated and a bit more loyal towards the company. They will feel that a responsibility is on them, to row the ship out of the whirlpool now but later it is sure they will land on a blissful island!

So I would advice all my friends to be true, show reality and stand together to come out of this whirlpool i.e. "Recession". The economic slowdown is slowing down a bit. Inflation has fallen to beat 32 years record, companies are gaining in terms of profits again, BSE also showed a bit of smooth rally in the last couple of months, so the good signs are coming guys!

I am pretty confident that if India will progress like; it has progressed in the past and is progressing now, we will be even less effected by these kinds of whirlpools in future if they come again....

But the need of the hour is to make our Great Nation Stronger but remember always my friends that a Nation becomes Great only when its citizens act Great and are Great ! I do not doubt on any one of you, as "You" are the future my friends! So, be brave, be sincere & always stand with the truth because that can help us develop a responsible, stronger nation and a peaceful, better world to live in & prosper!
