The Pygmalion effect and its importance in companies

The Pygmalion effect acts and resides in an area of ??human consciousness that is prone to be easily moldable, that is, self-confidence, which upon feeling stimulated, will generate self motivation.

In the business world, specifically Human Resources, it is a strategy through which a leader, manager or manager knows how to recognize the capabilities and achievements of his team. This will have a positive effect on the workers, since they will feel positively and 100 percent linked to the company, delivering their best.

The Pygmalion effect is based on the expectations that others have about one, and when these are favorable, they can give us the strength and motivation necessary to achieve the most difficult objectives.

It is the strong desire to achieve the objectives and achieve goals, even self-imposed, based on the expectations of others, to get the approval of those who are above us.

To strengthen the confidence and motivation of the worker, the manager must give them a sincere and proactive treatment, since every person reacts to the treatment he is given.

In this way, the manager must implement the following actions and strategies in the day to day of the worker:

1. Before criticizing the worker's performance, be self-critical

2. Foster mutual respect
