These videos I posted are not actually from management authors, but they show how to improve oneself for the benefit of the management. Leaders must motivate and empowers their subordinates to increase working performances. We must not just study planning, organizing, influencing and controlling, but we must understand each essential ways to improve these management functions.

This video, Motivation at work, is one of the videos I like about motivating employees. This comic is created for humor but speaks on how employees are being motivated. Motivation is not just in a form of money or additional increase in the salary or bonuses, but also empowering and delegating employees to do a specific duty. Another motivation is training or sending the employees abroad for their career enhancement, and this is considered as one of the biggest opportunity that others won’t have. Coffee breaks, party and dinner with all the employees are another simple way of motivating them and to get to know each other, resulting to a good working relationship. And the last part of it reminds me of my good Boss, a caring boss will always motivate employees. As I also do administrative work as my Boss’s secretary, he never failed to motivate me by his simply showing his care and humor.

This video shows how to improve performance in our job. It is just the same video as motivation at work but it’s not in a comic presentation. It shows different situations in the office, different employees that have different way of thinking and attitude towards their jobs. Some are just playing, just reading emails, others are just waiting for the dismissal and others are demotivated. But this video shows that our working performances depend to us, if how we view and see our job and how we value it. Management should engage its employees in trainings relating to Performance Management.

From the title of the video itself, how to deal with difficult people at work, speaks about how to handle situation properly and appropriately when there is troublesome at your working place. We are always encountering few stressors in the office and we cannot run from them. But as I have watched this video, it enlightened me of either we change their attitudes or change our attitude and perception about that person. We must first understand our attitude, or if we have a problem in ourselves, or the way we treat others is fine and professional. Then after assessing it, we must try to understand those difficult people we are considering. And we must take stand when the problem is not our attitude and when it goes beyond the attitude to hurtful action. And never underestimate the power of a good talk, confront the person properly and be just in our words.
