Motivation Killers: 9 Things You Should Never Ask Employees to Do

Here's a article from Jeff Haden on how to kill motivation. If I recall correctly, Northrop Grumman management committed only 7 of the 9 in my experience.

1. Pressure employees to attend "social" events.

2. Ask an employee to do something you already asked another employee to do.
3. Pressure employees to donate to a charity.

4. Make employees go without food at mealtime hours. .

5. Ask employees to evaluate themselves.

6. Ask employees to evaluate their peers.

7. Reveal personal information in the interest of "teambuilding."

8. Ask employees to alert you when you "veer off course."

9. Ask employees to do something you don't do.
