| 6 Tools for Team Leaders, Team Coaches and People Builders
Are things changing in your company? If so, then I know right now many of your team members are wrapped up in fear... worried about their jobs, their family members, and the economy.
Fear happens when we feel out of control. We may have been cajoled to ride the roller coaster at the fair by our teasing children, but when we stepped on, we knew the fear would only be temporary. We knew eventually there would be an end to that ride.
Today there are a lot of people secretly screaming "I wanna get off".
Can you hear them? Maybe it's not actually words. Are you seeing it in more sick days taken, less productivity, more conflict with opposite personalities, and even a deafening silent stare?

One more time how do we motivate people?
| |
| How to motivate people? The hoary old chestnut that never seems to be resolved and on which is written so much I am wary of contributing to the confusions and misinformation. It is not really possible to ‘motivate’ someone rather you offer them reasons why they could or should motivate themselves. It does sound a little obvious since each person has select and very exclusive to their own mind and feelings. The term ‘motivation’ in business often means something like: Get people performing better than they are now. That may or may not involve ‘motivation’, but it is surprising the discussions that occur around the issue of ‘how to get them going?’ |
