When you are doing well, every one celebrates you but when your performance is waning, people will forget about your past victories and accomplishments. Instead of being patient or motivate you and tell help you, they may give you the boot.
Stephen Keshi the former coach of The Super eagles of Nigeria was given a boot after winning the nations cups for various reasons. The last time the Supere Eagles won the nations cup was ninteen (19) years before The big Boss (Stephen Keshi) came and won the cup in 2013.
Now, Mourinho has been kicked out of Chelsea Fc after winning The EPL this year because of performance, issues with players and so on. He has been the best coach the club has had in her history.
This is a case study for everyone, professional, business development officer/managers, bankers, marketers, managers and so on. You just have to keep performing. Your previous records may not speak for you if you are not doing well. Managements from my view are more interested in performance and not excuses. They want to see results and they are very impatient.
Do not live on your past glories instead; build on them because the celebrated performer today may become the sacked incompetent staff tomorrow. Mourinho's and Keshi's experiences are good examples to learn from so that you do not fall and have their experiences.
Managements are no longer patient because they think business is no longer as usual. Everyone wants to be at the top but most bosses do not really know what it means and takes to meet targets and deadlines. They just want it done and results coming in. I believe if the mean reason a company exists is to make profit, then something is wrong. Many times, people have sleepless nights, deprive themselves and their families and do other things because they want to achieve their goals and targets.
Mourinho was called the special one now he has been sacked and I heard someone called him the sacked one. This is not fair by the management of Chelsea Fc because this same coach brought the club back to the top after many years. The truth is Mourinho is one of the best coaches of all time and guess what; several clubs are now vying for his signature. They just lost a gem, a leader and a coach.
There should be room for motivation and encourage when things are not going as planned and when everything is happening accordingly. If everything management does is to sack, query and salary reduction, then they would lose the best hands and other companies will become better for it. I am not saying that companies should not sack or down size but what i am saying is that the solution to poor performance is not always sack. They should look into the systems they have put in place and try to get close to the employees to know what the problems are. The problem or the cause of low productivity could be from the management or employees and from both. Wilson Ileogben
