How to motivate your team
In order to have productive team, you have to keep them motivated throughout the project and above all interested in what they are doing, to achieve this follow these steps÷
1- Explain the positive outcomes of achieving the objective if it benefits your team members: By incorporating this team motivating step, you are putting the control of their future compensation into their own hands.
2- Build a sense of curiosity within your team member's mindsets so that that they are interested enough to want to achieve the goals you expect: By doing this, your team members will want to learn more. This can be achieved if you understand what excites or interests your team members.
3- Establish a plan of action that requires cooperation between team members so that they are forced to work together to achieve that goal: This may just mean that a project is divided into tasks that need to be accomplished by each member of the team.
4- Challenge your team members to achieve an objective: Make sure that they understand what you expect as a goal: Don't set them up to fail. Establish a realistic goal and provide a tool that shows their progress as they get closer to attaining that goal. For example, if you have a project that needs completing, create a chart that breaks that project into smaller goals so that, as they achieve each step, they can check it off and visualize themselves getting closer to completing the project.
5- Create a competitive environment that will inspire your team members to achieve their goals: For example, break your team up into smaller teams and have them each be responsible for an aspect of the complete goal. Introduce an incentive that will inspire them, but make it a friendly competition and not one that brings about hostility and back stabbing.
6- Put your team members in control of their own destiny when instilling team motivation: You can have an objective that needs to be met, but passing that sense of control over each of your team members will give them the feeling that achieving the goal is something they want done.
7- Design a tool for recognition when motivating your team: By doing this, team members know that their individual efforts will be noticed and not lost as a team effort. This will inspire all members to do their share. If members know that they will only be rewarded and recognized as a team, they may be more inclined to hide behind the efforts of others. This in turn, may cause resentment amongst those who did all the work.
