We received some interesting results from our recent survey on team
leadership. One of our questions was what people found most challenging about team leadership.
We received many answers about strategic planning, decision making, communications and so forth. But, a challenge that many people expressed is how to motivate their team.
We are going to make this easy for you. To motivate your people you do not have to be “motivational”. You do not have to be charismatic or even a particularly skilled communicator.
Just do one simple (but incredibly powerful!) thing. MAKE THE LIST OF THINGS YOUR PEOPLE ARE DOING MATCH THE TIME THEY HAVE TO DO THEM.
This is a leadership skill that most managers do not have. It is a skill that is rarely, if ever, taught in management training programs. But, it is the most important aspect of team motivation.
People are motivated when they feel like they are making progress. If their task load is always more than they have time to do they will feel like they are spinning their wheels.
As the leader you can fix this and tap into the power of a motivated team.
To your continued success,

This seems to be a very powerful skill,but the question is, in matching the time to the work,will you give more time or less time considering the man hour attached to each personnel.

I also believe that it is important for employees to be motivated in the workforce. If there is no motivation then this could effect employee productivity.
I think that workers can be stressed from all the deadlines and projects that they have to finish that they feel they are losing quality in their work.
I found a good site though for motivation training at

Motivation is upgraded innovativeness, an improved probability of supporting elite and attaining important goals, and perhaps most essential, getting a charge out of an increased and enduring feeling of positive prosperity. See more at:- http://www.blanchardinternational.co.in/optimal-motivation
