When you plan to eat your favorite delicious food, the first expectation is that the food should be served hot. When it is served on your plate, what are the reactions? Wow, interesting, I like this, very yummy, and tasty.
But with time, maybe after a few minutes, the food gets colder. It doesn’t have the same taste and probably, you also lose interest. Finally, someone leaves a few bytes to remain on the plate. It means some mechanism is required to keep the last byte hot.
Let's look at the options First, keep your food in a hotpot and open it when you need a byte. Is it practically doable? Probably no one likes to do this. Second, finish your food before the last byte gets cold. Is this option feasible? If yes, there are many side effects. Like indigestion, vomiting, acidity. You may lose your interest and others can also see the reaction. So this option is feasible but not advisable. The third option is to keep the food plate on a small electric hot plate. This is one of the options with a specific mechanism. You may think of many other options. But you certainly need something as a source of constant energy to maintain your interest.
It doesn’t matter who you are. A group head, VP, Sr director or CEO of a company. Everybody needs energy to maintain the interest or motivation of all the employees. Someone may think about a good hike, bonus, or award as a source of motivation and interest. But these are not enough to pump the energy constantly. The successes, confidence, and lessons from failures are only the constant sources of energy. Success doesn't come by luck. It has to be planned systematically. The team should be very consistent throughout.
Everyone and every organization should examine internal factors, and external factors, identify competitive advantages, alignment of support functions, honest review of progress, how strength can be utilized to get maximum benefits from opportunities, how to use opportunities to overcome the weaknesses and many other factors. These are very important to plan for success and to keep the entire employee energetic.

It is very useful to plan for success, to measure the deviation from strategy, for Strengthen the team or organization and to ensure success. The periodic review of success stories, strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities pumps energy into the team.
