7 smart ways to • keep your team • motivated!
Be a leader • Sometimes the difference between success and failure can be how motivated your team is. • As a manager, how do you keep everyone fired up and producing top level work? • http://www.managementrockstar.com/
If you treat some of your employees better than others, it will kill morale. • Treat everyone fairly. That doesn’t mean everyone has to be treated the same - don’t be afraid to individualize if the situation requires it. Favorites = No-no • http://www.managementrockstar.com/
Share the spotlight • If you get an “atta boy” from your boss or a customer, pass it along to your team. • Take every opportunity to make sure your team’s hard work is recognized. If it could win an award, nominate them. If you win, let your team accept it. • http://www.managementrockstar.com/
Find a comfort zone • You’re more comfortable holding meetings in your office or a conference room? • Why not try a space your team would feel comfortable in. Mingle with your directs and find a setting that would work best for everyone. • http://www.managementrockstar.com/
Keep your commitments • This one is simple: if you say you’ll do something, do it. • If you don’t, it will hurt your credibility and a manager without credibility is useless. • http://www.managementrockstar.com/
Let them have a say • Nothing motivates people like having a sense of control or ownership in the outcome. • Ask your team to bring two important questions or suggestions to your next meeting. • http://www.managementrockstar.com/
Buy ‘em lunch • Surprise your team by taking them to lunch once in a while. It can be an excellent way to discover what’s on their mind and how things are going in their area. • Even having a few pizzas delivered around noon can turn around a dreary day. • http://www.managementrockstar.com/
Communicate (even when it’s bad news) • An absence of information from you won’t mean an absence of conclusions for your team. • If your team feels like they’re being left in the dark or that you’re holding back, their motivation and trust in you will suffer. • http://www.managementrockstar.com/
