Even if you are among those who have no clue about law, this story can be worth reading. It is a colorful explanation of what tort laws are about – indicated with the famous story of the woman who sued McDonald’s. Torts are what in Europe is taught under the discipline of ‘wrongful acts’. Let’s see how ‘wrongful’ McDonald’s acted.
Did she really drink and drive?
We all ‘know’ the case of the woman who sued McDonald’s because she spilled coffee whilst she was driving, and severely burnt herself. Apparently, she won millions. Based on what they have heard of the case, most Europeans believe that instead of receiving damages her driving license should have been taken away for the mere fact that she was drinking a beverage whilst driving. European drivers don’t appreciate the idea of cup holders in cars in the first place. But driving is exactly what she did not do.

It’s not always easy to stay motivated. We might start out strong, but somewhere along the way we may falter. Even if external factors cooperate – we don’t lose our job even though the economy tanks, we have a boss that supports us in reaching for goals and we have colleagues, family, and friends that help to keep us focused, we can still struggle to stay positive and moving forward. It’s part of being human to face anxiety, uncertainty, or even depression.
But what separates the truly successful person from the average person is the ability to understand why you are feeling de-motivated, respond to that reason, and then keep on moving forward.
The 3 main ‘motivation killers’
There are three main reasons that people tend to lose motivation from time to time. You can refer to these as ‘motivation killers’. These are:
  • Lack of self-confidence – why would you continue to try to do something if you don’t believe that you can do it?
  • Lack of focus – you don’t know exactly what it is that you want, so why should you take action until you do?
  • Lack of direction – if you know what you want and you believe that you can do it, but you just don’t know how to get started, you can get stopped instead of motivated.

 Many managers struggle to find the best way to encourage, motivate, enthuse and develop their staff. The myriad of personalities that we have to deal with on a daily basis makes it difficult for us to determine how to get the best performance from such a diverse group of people that we happen to have on our team
Still, it’s your responsibility to create the climate and environment for your people to thrive. Without the growth that’s necessary for improved performance and target-achievement, your people lack the spark and creativity that will ultimately set your business (and, indeed, yourself) apart in a highly-competitive world.
By far the best way to build this platform for growth is through the development and nurturing of a style of management that encourages creativity, inspires participation and facilitates growth. Devoting time to this style is paramount if you want to tap into your people’s potential.
Most managers find that when they coach their people effectively, they get better results than with most other styles. Here are four coaching tips that really work and lead to greater achievement.
1) Encourage self-evaluation
Getting the person to evaluate their own performance against a set of agreed parameters and criteria helps them to identify where the improvement in performance lies.
