Importance of Winning

Everybody in this world wants to win in their respective fields. There are few who want to win in the multiple fields. Competition is an addiction and the consequences of it leave high impact on the individuals. But you ever thought that your victory also affects the life of people around you. Your father will be proud if you succeed, your brother will look forward to you as an inspiration, and your mother shares the pride with her friends. Only those experiences the feeling of victory who know what is failure and what it takes to bounce back from it.

If you are leader or manager or owner then you should be aware of the fact that victory can increase the confidence of your employees which in turn increases the efficiency. You have to share the victory with people who contributed in one way or the other. Make them feel that their contribution, however small it is, mattered allot. They are the stepping stone for your success. You are incomplete without them. It doesn’t matter that in reality they do or not but it will increase their confidence and then the next time when a challenge comes up then they will work hard just to meet your previous expectation. Not a bad deal, isn’t it!

But question still remains same, that why they will work for you when the victory is yours and they are just tiny contributors? The answer is simple but interesting. They do it because they feel good about their work place. A profit in the organisation ensures monetary benefit for them in form of bonuses or incentives. Because of monetary benefits, they can invest on future of their children or they can buy house for their own future. They can afford luxury according to the financial status. A growing financial status does ensure that one can go for occasional luxury. Luxury makes people feel special.

If your organisation is on the losing end then your employees will feel insecure about their own future and future of their families. A finest example of this fact is the 21^st century recession where 1/3^rd of the companies crashed just because their future was uncertain and people left the jobs to join the companies who were offering them a secure future even on less salary packages. As a leader it is most important that people below you should feel secured about their future. They may think about short term goals or few may go for long term but the fact is everybody thinks about future. Now I am sure you are aware about the importance of winning. Now it is time to implement it through your managerial skills cum leadership traits.
