Motivation in management
by: Anonymous

MOTIVATION IN MANAGEMENT
(A). KNOW WHERE MOTIVATION COMES FROM.
First of all, you should recognize this. Motivation comes from within. The key here is that good managers get people to motivate themselves. They manage agreements, not people.
(B). TUNE IN.
This simple advice works wonders. In order for leaders to be heard, they must first listen. Shut your mouth, Listen, and then speak.

(C). GIVE FEEDBACK.
To reach great highs, people require constant feedback. Achievement needs feedback. If you deprive people of feedback, you make them create their own. They start to figure things out in the wrong way, and that certainly is not good.

(D). LEAD FROM THE FRONT OR WALK THE TALK.
Be the first to volunteer if you want volunteers, be the first to help customers if you want people to help customers.Leaders can motivate being an example for their teams.

(E). TELL THE TRUTH QUICKLY.
Leaders don?t hold the truth, instead they?re faster in telling the truth. In that way they foster trust and confidence with their team.

(F). KNOW YOUR PURPOSE.
Remember about vision. A good leader, knows why he?s doing what he does, and what to expect from his/her team. A good leader always helps his/her team to keep focus on the vision.

(G). DO THE WORST FIRST A.K.A. EAT THAT FROG.
Show your team what the priorities are, and if the worst has to be done, do it first. After that, everything will seem easier.
(H) KNOW YOUR PEOPLE?S STRENGTHS.
Enhancing a person?s positive attributes allows him to use more of his potential.

(I). TO MOTIVATE YOUR PEOPLE, FIRST JUST RELAX.
If you?re nervous and tense, that may lead to poor performance and will affect other people as well. Strive to be calm and confident.

(J).GIVE UP BEING RIGHT.
Sometimes you have to show you know you will not be right all the time. That is one of the hallmarks of strong leaders.

(3.22). ACTIONS FOR LEADERSHIP
(A). Take one out of the ten actions now and do it. Repeat until you have done all ten in the current list. Leadership is about timing, is about knowing when to go fast, and when to move slowly.

In turbulent times, the only thing to do is to look forward, towards your vision. Do not fall in the trap of speeding up when everyone else is doing it, or slowing down because everybody is doing it too.

(B). THE VISION
You share with your team, your people is the lighthouse that will guide you. The vision is what helps you to stay focused. In addition, the clearer the vision is, the easier to decide at what speed to go ahead it is.
Turbulent times should be and opportunity to foster creativity, to give the most of ourselves. Difficult circumstances are tests to our integrity, to our commitment, and in the end to ourselves.

When everything is fine, it is too easy to be good or great. It is in difficult times when you reveal who you are. Embrace the circumstances you are on now, take your vision, and make an informed decision to slow down or speed up.
