If desire is not fulfilled, it results in anger. Anger leads to excitement which makes one to lose discriminating power and may result in undesirable or even abnormal behavior.

One has to just see the ease with which leader treats his subordinates with en-couragement. He/she needs to make them ask questions and clarify doubts, giving occasional but appropriate praise. He/she needs to give repeated assurances, prom-ises, and categorical assertions. Superiors need to cite important and vital situations and demonstrate effective communication skills in addition to the manner in which they need to reveal their true personality and power. All these factors are the ingredients of successful motivation. Leadership brings responsibility with it to facilitate the subordinates to grow and subsequently excel in the job that he/she is doing. No matter what kind of work environment and culture organization provides to support, managers need to have ability to motivate employees. But for that, they have to remain themselves motivated and exert discretionary en-ergy to get-up-and-go with the employee and contribute beyond the basic requirements of their job. Employees choose how much discretionary energy to exert on their behalf at the workplace. The employee's willingness to perform above and beyond the basic requirements of the job is a reflection of the employee's willingness to engage his or her discretionary energy. Discretionary energy can help managers to make workplace dynamic with employ-ee performance and excitement. Successful managers understand the power of discretionary energy and take conscious action to tap it at work. Managers draw forth and enable employees to contribute their discretionary energy by creating a work environment that empowers and enables employees to choose to perform.Superiors need to motivate their subordinates and leader has to be the role modelSantosh Dhar,Dean - Faculty of Doctoral Studies and Research
