A lot of business owners underestimate the power of employee motivation in managing people. No wonder you’re here today wondering whether or not you can increase motivation without doing a lot. Anthony joins me today as we’re chatting about how you can exactly do that, which will save you time and money in the long run. 

What’s unique about Anthony is that - he acknowledged that, over the years, his management style has changed. And that’s greatly influenced by the industry he is operating. He knew how the “necessary why-s” and the relationship play a role in motivating people. 

You don’t get the best results most of the time, but when you effectively manage to motivate your employees and manage them well - not only you are able to close the loop. You can also leverage it to achieve your business goals while you allow them to thrive. 

Tap in now and tune in until the very end!

• How do you get the best result by improving motivation; 
• 3 ways to motivate your employees better;

7 methods to motivate your team gives you practical actionable methods to motivate a team which work with all teams.

 Knowing how to motivate a team is a great skill for any manager to have and everyone can learn how to motivate. Engaged and motivated teams perform a lot better and are much nicer places to work – great for everyone.

 So the first method to motivate a team is to share your vision with your team. Explain the direction and goals you want to achieve. Explain how this fits in with the company goals and why each team member has an important role to play. 

 The second way to motivate your team is to understand the goals of each team member. Everyone is different and have different hopes and dreams. Take each person through how achieving the company and team goals can also help the individual achieve some of their goals. 

 Leading by example is another way for motivating your team at work. I always found it very motivational being in a team with a hardworking successful manager who lives by the same rules they set for everyone. Leading by example is great for how to motivate and inspire employees.

  How to motivate team members as a leader includes actively developing team members. There are so many ways to develop team members without needing a large budget. Plan out what you can do to move each person in your team forward and keep them learning.

 When thinking to ways to motivate your team, praising regularly should feature highly. We all want praise for work well done and as a manager, look for opportunities to praise employees. Positive reinforcement really does work. 

 The sixth method to motivate a team is to proactively remove blockers. Having to fight against blockers is painful and demotivating. Look at your processes. Deal with conflict and underperformers. Deal with disruptive staff. Take action.

 Seventh, for how to motivate employees – practice a positive management style. There are many behaviours and actions that go into a positive management style – some we have covered already. Additional ones include promoting open communication, being consistent and spending time listening to your team members. These are all great actions to motivate your team

 Put into practice at least one of the methods outlined in “7 methods to Motivate your team”. Once you have this up and running, put into action the next one. It won’t be long before you have them all running, and you will quickly see the impact on team motivation.

 Enjoy working with a more motivated team!

How to Motivate a Team is a question many managers and leaders ask. In this video I take you through 10 tried and tested actions you should take to motivate your team.

I always felt that the more that I could do to improve the team, to train and coach them and get them thinking and involved in decisions then their motivation would increase, and this would encourage them to perform at their best. When this happens, everyone is a winner – the individuals, the manager, and the business.

How do you motivate your team?

There are many ways to motivate your team at work – it is important that you try different approaches that work with your style of management. Being genuine and authentic is a very important starting point. 

Motivate your team as a leader by setting direction and goals. This gets everyone moving in a similar direction and is pretty essential if you want to achieve a lot and achieve the right results. I take you through practical tips on how to motivate a team to achieve results. By setting expectations and creating a plan of how each person can achieve the results, the team is well placed to deliver. 

Another key action to take to motivate your team members is to say no and protect the team. I always appreciated a manager or leader who would look after the team and ensure that everyone had the best chance to do their work well.
 
And finally, positive reinforcement works so much better than criticising work not done as well. Find out how often you should complement staff vs criticise if you want to keep them happy – it is more than you think.

Enjoy leading and motivating your team!

Awareness in leadership, people, and in sales is highlighted with Patrick Johnson, who is a brilliant individual when it comes to people and business. After having been raised on a farm in Kentucky and getting his degree, he found himself in the office technology space. His product was a color print system that cost over 100,000 dollars. Whereas many people did not pay that for their homes, Patrick was selling these devices to businesses along with his diverse sales team.

Additionally Patrick was involved with helping beauty pageant contestents to be better at interviewing which led to other business ventures.

The formula for successful marketing material is: educate, entertain, and inform.

Here are the definitions of each:

Educate

Share information in an organized way so it can be productively applied. The knowledge has practical application in the future. 

Entertain

Give people enjoyment as a result of consuming your marketing material.

Inform

Share information with people to keep them up-to-date.

The difference between educating and informing is: Educating is delivering instruction about the practical application of knowledge to achieve the desired outcome.

Informing is conveying information to a group or individual.
