Frequently Asked Questions
How do I recognize when a motivational conversation is necessary?
A motivational conversation is advisable when you observe changes in behavior from your employee, such as declining work quality, reduced participation in meetings, increased error rates, or social withdrawal. Additionally, if an otherwise engaged employee suddenly only fulfills their duties minimally or shows disinterest in new projects, you should not wait too long. Early interventions through appreciative motivational conversations can prevent demotivation from solidifying or even leading to disengagement.
How do I correctly differentiate between performance and motivation discussions?
While the performance discussion primarily focuses on evaluating delivered work results, achieving agreed-upon goals, and defining new target agreements, the motivation discussion emphasizes the personal level. This involves recognizing individual needs, understanding current challenges, and collaboratively developing perspectives that ignite new enthusiasm. Performance discussions often follow a structured process with predefined evaluation criteria, whereas motivation discussions can be more flexible and should place greater emphasis on personal aspects such as finding meaning, appreciation, and individual development desires.
