It’s a huge difference between “I have to do this”, and “I want to do this”. One way they gripe and complain and try to do the least. The other way they are happy, engaged, and do their best.
So how do we get them to want to do their best?
There are many factors including but not limited to –
I like my immediate supervisor
I think the leaders are doing a good job
They listen to me
They care about me
I know how the business works – they share information with me
I know what success looks like – what they want from me
I have what I need to be successful
I know where the company is going
I like my coworkers
People smile and have fun around here
I like the environment I work in
They recognize me and I feel good about myself here
How many of these would YOUR employees say yes to at your company? It can vary widely from department to department based on the manager.
Dare to take a poll?
Good luck, good skill, and most importantly good health in your event! Bring home some memories and maybe even some hardware.
Safe Travels and enjoy being back in Baja again…
The Baja 400 sounds like a dream after the trials and endurance of the Iron Man 1000. Enjoy and be safe. Protect your body!
Happy you are going to be racing again! Let them know you are back!
Good luck in the Baja Larry, have fun and be safe, hobbies are so important in our lives with all the stress of regular living, we need a way out, they make us feel alive, myself a late 50’s vintage racer now and racing next weekend also in my first Enduro having raced mx most of my life. Just the Friday Vintage GP at the Corduroy Enduro, which is more for fun than the serious Cord on Saturday and Sunday. As long as we have fun and try not to get hurt and do the best we can is all we can do, we are still living life at a ripe old age where we have a hard time realizing how old we are in body but not mind. Body I know, kick starting this vintage XR 500 that actually won the Baja when it was new. Still get the same butterflies I got racing as a teenager, some things never change, thank God, take care and good luck again, Steve H.
