Communication leadership motivation

Here is a reminder to the key principles for motivating others. ⠀

• Be motivated yourself. If you are not fully committed and enthusiastic, how can you expect others to be? ⠀⠀
• Select people who are highly motivated. It is not easy to motivate the unwilling. Therefore, choose those who have the seeds of high motivation within them. ⠀
• Set realistic and challenging targets. The better the team and its members, the more they will respond to objectives that stretch them, providing these are realistic. ⠀
• Remember that progress motivates. If you never give people feedback on how they are progressing, you will soon demotivate them. ⠀
• Provide fair rewards. Not easy. Do you reward the whole team, each individual, or both? Either way, the perception of unfair rewards certainly works against motivation. ⠀
• Give recognition. This costs you nothing, but praise and recognition based upon performance are the oxygen of the human spirit.
