How to Motivate Your Team in 30 Minutes or Less-Leadership Training

Almost every manager wants to know--how do you motivate people? It is the question that managers ask the most during my consulting relationships. This leadership training video will answer that question. Here’s the short answer: everyone is already motivated! You don't motivate them. Instead, you influence them to learn to be more motivated towards your department or team's goals.
Do you need to motivate your team to achieve better performance? Are they stuck or under-performing? This leadership video clip will give you a roadmap that works with poor and high performing employees. It doesn't have to take forever, however, you have to follow-through and be consistent in your efforts.
Here's a key point to remember-- most employees aren't always highly excited to do what a manager wants done. Most do their job only because they have to earn a living, so many do just enough to get by. Wouldn't you rather have them inspired to go the extra mile for your team?
Frederick Herzberg’s best selling HBR article, One More Time, How Do You Motivate People?, provides clues. (The title of the article implies that maybe he was a little irritated that managers keep asking the question.) His research shows people are most motivated by:
+Achievement
+Learning
+Pride in the work
Recognition
+Personal Growth
+Responsibility
+Advancement
As long as their pay is fair, money is not a determining factor for most people in terms of job satisfaction. So, how do you motivate a team? Create the conditions so that they want to do better. Consider a process that includes many of the above motivators.
To begin, get to know and understand your employees more. Ask yourself a few key questions about each person on the team, and use your answers to guide your interaction with them. Most people think they are performing better than they are. Most can perform significantly better than they are. The goal here is to implement a consistent and frequent way of communicating with employees about their job expectations and performance. Done genuinely, casually and with integrity, it is not threatening, and it works. Liken this to a coach preparing his team for the next the next game. They create a game-plan as a team and execute it every day during training and practice. The communication is real time, ripe with feedback and engagement. The better they work together, the better their chances to win.
Create a positive climate, hold team meetings and do planning together are some of the keys to success. Follow-up, invest the time, and you will find most of your employees will become more excited and engaged, if not inspired, team players.
