“Why My Horse Doesn’t Drink”

A Presentation by Vivek Mehrotra

“You can take a horse to the pond but cannot make it drink”


‘It is true to human beings as well’

“Did you ever face questions”


• “Why doesn't this person work?”• “Why does this colleague hate me?”• “Why do I always get bad people to work with?”• “Could someone be more ungrateful than him?”• “Why does this person want to embarrass me?”

Human beings refuse to work due to any of the above-mentioned reason (s)


• Lack of interest in the job• Stubbornness • Excessive fear of punishments• Inappropriate recognition / rewards • Conflicting demands of the superiors

Refusing to work is a problem or a symptom?

Newton’s First Law of (Motivation) Motion

Every body persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight - line, unless it is compelled to change that state by force impressed on it.

“Human beings too, do not change their state of affairs unless a force is applied on them. People do not take initiative or an action until they are compelled to do so”.



“The premise of ‘Court of Justice’ is based upon finding out the motive behind the crime. According To law, the origin of the word ‘crime’ is from two Latin words ‘mens rea,’ i.e., the ‘guilty mind’without which, any action remains an ‘act’ and not an ‘offence.’ According to the ‘Indian Penal Code’, a person is not to be penalized by death or life sentence under section IPC – 302, who has committed even a murder for self -defense. However, a person may be penalized under section IPC -307 to a rigorous imprisonment for seven years for just taking a shot from a gun on somebody (not necessarily killing the person), if his motive was to kill him, i.e. an attempt to murder”.



Newton’s Second Law of (Motivation) Motion

The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts.

“The mass (individual’s competence) remains constant, it is the person’s desire/interest (the velocity) decides the extent of his success. More the desire and interest towards a particular job; better is his chance of success”.

Accelerator vs.. Brake

“Motivation is like an accelerator in a vehicle. A vehicle keeps moving at the pace decided by its accelerator. The moment accelerator is reduced, vehicle’s speed reduces and it may come to a standstill if there is no further acceleration. Alternatively, if brakes are applied,there will be an abrupt reduction in the speed of the vehicle and it may come to a standstill….


Is it MOTIVATIONorMANIPULATION???




"Leadership I s the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it."

General Dwight David Eisenhower


“I'm slowly becoming a convert to the principle that you can not motivate people to do things.

You can only demotivate them. The primary

job of the manager is not to empower but to remove obstacles.”

Scott Adams


How NOT to Demotivate



Demotivators originating due to lack of proper Supervision

• Lack of Direction

• Lack of Recognition • Subordinates may become high headed• People are expected to do good work

“catch somebody doing things wrong.”

Praise in public, reprimand in private.• Never offer a unfair reward or recognition

“catch somebody doing things right”.



Demotivators originating due to lack of proper Supervision


• Be the ‘Neelkanth (Lord Shiva)’

• Close Supervision • Inspected or expected job• Reluctance of managers to empower team members• Doubt on the capabilities / credibility of team members• Doubting the integrity • Freedom to perform• Forcing people to work in their (manager’s) way

• Conflicting expectations of superiors A Presentation by Vivek Mehrotra



Demotivators originating due to inappropriate Leadership

• Unfulfilled Promises • Denying a promotion or a request transfer • Conflicting behaviors of superiors • Feeling of favoritism • Being a work-alcoholic • Asking people to do what you wouldn’t like to do your self?• Frequent changes in Standard Operating Procedures



‘Criticizing’ an Art

“Appreciation can make a day. Even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary”.

Margaret Cousins



DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS

• ‘Guptapragya’ means those who have undiscovered talent

• ‘Suptapragya’ means those who are talented but NO action

• ‘Truptpragya’ means those who are contented

• ‘Luptpragya’ means those who have lost interest

• ‘Pradiptapragya’ means those who are sharp and dashing

Chanakya



I am sure you must have read in ‘Ramayana’ the episode of

‘Hanuman ji’ crossing the sea to reach ‘Lanka’. Until the time

‘Jambuvant’ persuaded him by saying these words, “Kavan

so kaj kathin jag manhi, jo nahi hot tat tum panhi”

(which is that difficult task in the world that

you cannot do), even Hanuman ji could not

believe that he can cross the sea.



Money and job satisfaction are the two wings of a bird; one is enough for survival, but to fly high

both are required.



“The greatest motivational act one person can do for another is to listen”.

Roy E. Moody
