Corporate or academic trainers are often posed this question on how to improve motivational levels of the people concerned. Countless corporate training sessions get held, yet to little avail. That is because motivation on its own rarely works. One needs to delve deeper into what are the reasons for it not working. In fact several times there are genuinely engaged employees, who simply shun the sessions. This could be due to the approach. A lot of trainers make the mistake of assuming external rewards and thus try to motivate the subjects using tension or pressure as a model. At Wells Fargo for example, a lot of motivational sessions bombed because of the culture of pressure that was created, leading to unethical behavioral practices adopted. Instead of seeking competence, one must question the daily learning outcomes for beneficial workplace culture creation.
