A little fear is a good thing.
Fear of failure, fear of losing face, fear of losing an opportunity, fear of losing money, fear of disappointing others, fear of losing to the competition, etc.
Fear is one of the greatest underlying motivations that we have. And yes, there is a fair bit of evidence of this in research into business performance.
If you are always happy with what you do then you have no motivation to improve and no motivation to perform.
On the other hand too much fear can cripple – especially for your employees.
Try turning the fear into a positive motivator by setting up goals, KPIs, and comparing to your competitors.
For yourself, recognise the fears you have and turn that into actions.
A little fear is a good thing.
