Working with Team

In last 4-5 Years of my career, I have been through roles with intensive people management responsibilities. Its difficult to manage in circumstances when the need of the hour is to give more than 100% & salvage a situation and at the same time have a team member who is probably misfit or has attitude or other such issues. One of such situations years ago, got me a wonderful learning. Here is a brief comment from my manager that I cannot forget. He said something like this. What do you when you have a slow child? You don't give up, right?

What followed is a paradigm shift in my approach. I have found it very helpful to have a positive attitude in the ability of every member to deliver. As they say - it shows up in your eyes. So in most cases, I see such members reacting positively and I have also seen some pleasant turnarounds.
