Address emotions at work (AG) (pd42)

Emotions are as much a part of the workplace as the air we breathe.  Happiness, surprise, frustration, anger—they are all there and more.  Emotions play a role in the choices we make and actions we take.  Directed emotions can motivate, inspire, and add positive intensity to our work.  When strong emotions leave our control, or “run away,” our personal productivity and the productivity of others suffers.  Key relationships in our network are damaged, making it even harder to maintain necessary focus.  Individuals who take the initiative to stay on top of their own emotional reactions and help others to do the same have a positive impact on productivity, relationships, the overall atmosphere of the workplace, and their personal well-being.

For most adults, work meets many needs – income, of course, as well as friendship and achievement.  Too often, though, employees feel bored or alienated at work.  The result can be illness, absenteeism, and turnover – at huge cost to the organization. Many leaders assume that employees, having secured food and shelter, become passive, in need external motivation. So they offer incentives – wage increases, bonuses, and promotions – or threaten punishment for failure to perform. But over forty years of scientific research confirms that rewards and threats actually undermine sustained motivation and performance.  This research has also identified three universal needs that everyone brings to the workplace, for competence, relatedness, and autonomy.  When leaders reward and recognizeemployee efforts to satisfy these needs, they tap the power of internal motivation.
