It was the end of performance review cycle for the year 2012 when you asked your subordinates about any problems they were facing. Natrajan told you that an important member of his team, Vardarajan, who had also won the best performance award for the year 2011, was not taking interest in work. Despite Natrajan's counseling, no change was noticed in Vardarajan, rather his attitude deteriorated. You had also received such information from other employees. You had not interfered hoping that Natrajan, an experienced hand, would be able to solve the problem. But now that Natrajan himself brought this to your notice, you decided to call Vardarajan and counsel him.
Vardarajan did not find his work challenging enough, given below are some steps that could be taken to motivate him:
1)Â Give Vardarajan a more challenging assignment

3) Ask him to take a vacation for two months
4)Â Send him for further training on decision making under stress
