Her dreams of a harmonious dual-career family were rapidly fading. In turn, the lack of support from her boss affected her motivation, as well as her sense of self-worth, for as long as she stayed in the job. Moreover, in performing the work she also discovered her boss was unsympathetic to her requests for occasional time off, for example to take her children to the doctor. This led to her resenting the work, and the constraints it placed on her. She needed to work, but the job she found turned out to be tedious, and the hours were inflexible. Moreover, if a worker sought learning the company couldn’t provide, they were encouraged to leave, then to rejoin the company after the learning had been accomplished.Īn example of a negative feedback loop comes from a graduating master’s degree student with children who moved to a new city with her husband.
In turn, the underlying idea was to reinforce the worker’s motivation to take on fresh challenges. The mentor’s job was to make sure the new hire was finding support within the company. The coach’s job was to make sure the new hire was exposed to new learning, especially when moving from one project to another. Highly motivated new hires were placed in their first jobs, and each assigned both a coach and a mentor. A nice example of a positive feedback loop comes from a software company I visited recently.
