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 21st century recession where 1/3rd
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.
