Motivation of personnel works until they start detecting the patterns of how they are being motivated to be at a stand-still. Obviously, this is no way to work with people, to lead them and to actually, make them grow, stay, bring revenue even change to the company.

A simple message to everyone with a boss: please, check the stories being served to you. If you can detect the same meaning behind different messages, you are being duped.

An example of such behavior: if there is always some drama, which requires change, full support of everyone at the company/team and after the drama, everything is back to “normal”, this means you are running in circles. Returning to normal after “drama”, without the actual implementation of the changes in the organisation, will lead to repeated drama occurrences. You are running in circles.

In short: if you are growing, but your organisation doesn’t, run.
