There is an opinion that a good “human resource” wants to work on their own and will do so if you just provide the conditions for work—salary, a computer, a desk, and a restroom. The role of a manager is seen as giving instructions, shouting “let’s go,” “cracking the whip,” organizing procedures, distributing punishments, forcing people to work, setting tasks, and monitoring their completion. No one should be a babysitter. If you want to work—here, work.Arbeit macht frei!If you don’t want to be here, then get out! If you don’t share the company’s goals, the goals set by the owner, then you don’t belong in this company.Jedem das Seine!
Feelings style. When you ask a person, usually a business owner, if there are many magically motivated people out there, he sighs and says—in our countryalmost none. I’ll let you in on a secret — there are almost none in the whole world. And isn’t it absurd to build your business based on something that…almost none?.
And then, when the geographical clarification is swallowed, I will say that this.not at allThere are no people who, like idiots, will work harder and better without any motivation. If you happen to have someone at work who is working like that, on their own, it means that you have somehow accidentally struck a secret chord in their soul, and at this moment, the person has linked their success with the success of the company, which is why they are full of enthusiasm. However, like any infatuation, this quickly fades, and we are left with…ordinary human materialIt seems that the text you provided is incomplete.

There’s another option. Look at the garden. What you need grows and yields a harvest only if you take care of it, nurture it, and believe in it. On the other hand, what grows on its own is usually a weed. The person who works with unmotivated enthusiasm is likely taking something from your company, but you probably don’t know what exactly, and they probably don’t want you to find out.
So, perhaps we should understand that a manager’s job is not just to “create conditions,” but to actually find a person’s motivations and align them with the company’s goals. Only then will we have those fantastic individuals who “work on their own.”
*This immediately brings to mind the film “ Mission Cleopatra “There, the free hired builders (not slaves) were parodied, showing how overseers whipped them to make them work harder. It was just the way things were done.”
