Answer 1

The aim is not avoid moods of uncertainty but rather to control them. At the central is a dis-empowering self- image. The uncertainty of Rohit comes from his perception of his previous contributions to the firm verses his new role as a manager.  The current management ought to embrace the subsequent approaches to make sure that workers no longer feel demotivated after a promotion namely thinking positively, implementation of professionalism, creating bridges, and comprehending team diversities.
