Motivational techniques for managers
- 2. Communicate
- 3. It is said that good communication is the number one factor in any good relationship. A leader must always be approachable and accessible. It will also give the manager keen insight into what motivates each of his employees.
- 4. “Skill in the art of communication is crucial to a leader's success. He can accomplish nothing unless he can communicate effectively.” - Anonymous
- 5. Reward
- 6. Choose an award that is appropriate to the achievement. It might be something casual, like an envelope with movie tickets. Either way, the reward should be conveyed with a genuine sense of appreciation.
- 7. "People work for money but go the extra mile for recognition, praise and rewards." -Dale Carnegie
- 9. Socialize
- 10. A manger should make time for his employees to spend time together socializing during work hours. This is also a teambuilding exercise as they will have the opportunity to spend time together ‘outside’ of work.
- 11. “Always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers.” –Stephen R. Covey
- 12. Challenge
- 13. Everyone wants to improve themselves. Take advantage of this human trait by providing employees with challenges and goals they can achieve. Instead of facing new challenges alone, use the opportunity to put them on members of the team.
- 14. "Challenges are an opportunity to test you and rise to the next level." -Angelica Montrose
- 16. Time Off
- 17. Few things are appreciated more than a little paid time off. If an individual or team had gone above and beyond on a project, let them take an afternoon off.
- 18. “There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.” - Alan Cohen
- 19. Train and Mentor
- 20. Motivate employees by providing them with additional training. Employees in companies where additional training or educational opportunities exist are more likely to stay motivated.
- 21. “Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.” -John C. Crosby
