productive energy into a human system.

human Mind as well as Body.

This productive energy can be used in a Constructive
as well as Destructive manner.

This flux of high energy has to be Channelised &
Controlled well.
This dynamic pack of energy can be extremely
hazardous if not regulated well.

This sort of energy can be derived from various
sources.

diminishes with time.
The life span of a Motivational high can be dependent
on its source or mix of sources.

staff has delivered the desired performance.
Productivity is linked to Capability. But, there are a

Productivity which is Capability + more.

might be doing it just for the sake of it !

with time if not attended to in time.
It can be a great task to be worked on by the
Leadership with immediate focus.

can change Organizational Fortunes !!!
