What motivates your team?
The word time is motivation. Every day new techniques are created, assessments, games, everything that the team has the motivation necessary for day to day and can deliver the desired results, right?
No. For me, motivation is something else. The motivation is personal, comes from within and not from without. And how to know which is your motivation? This game begins when you answer a simple question: why do you get up for work every morning? No matter if the subject is relevant super or something banal, that’s your motivation. But if you’ve reached the level of being bored when the alarm clock goes off and you need to get ready to leave home and go to work, you can be sure that this is the time to seek a new challenge in your life, to give a new meaning, a new motivation to wake up each morning.
When the leader thinks that motivated his team, he actually gave a “jolt” of something that already exists inside it, a goal or higher purpose. And when the leader knows what motivates the team and each individual member, it is much easier to work this motivation.
Now, how to work with this motivation will depend on how your team works. In entrepreneurial teams, works to “reason action.” That’s right, separate the word, give the reason for the action and manages a meaning to it. If we need to, for example, is made an emergency change just because it’s an emergency, it will obviously be done. This is the reason for the action. When there is an explanation, why what be occurring, what benefits it can bring and what degree of importance of the employee in the process, makes all the difference. Ie it generates the reason we got off the action.
There are other means which are considered motivational, but that somehow are temporary and unsustainable. An example is one that occurs as a thank you after the execution as a “Cool, congratulations”, “That’s it, come on” or “This is how I like to see.” These phrases alone are empty and should be used more as a thank you than as a motivation boost, they do not generate any understanding or depth for future improvements. Look, when using these phrases, pointing complementary attitudes that has left you satisfied, which is not legal and which could further improve. This shows how integrated you are with the team and has knowledge of what is being done. It is a sign of respect for the employee, and generate challenges that has to improve – and these challenges will mess with the motivation of its staff.
Now, the great secret of motivation is that it is individual, that is, can have various aspects as belief, money, rise rapidly, escape, quality of life, etc. It is critical to understand this individuality of each team member so you can work the motivation of each, thereby generating the necessary results, better know people and understand the time of each.
Perhaps, this time, you have a surprise: while doing this caught and list the most common motivations, you will see that the financial issue is one of the least cited reasons. Today most are looking for quality of life, personal fulfillment, and be an integral part of the company can contribute directly to their ideas and values.
And if you, the leader, never did ask, do. Think about what motivates you every day in the morning? Perhaps this may be the answer you lack in your life, is to see how happy you are or to see what is the time to pursue this happiness.
