How to the boost your team’s morale

Ilya Pozin recently listed in Inc. Magazine his top 9 tips for keeping your employees motivated:

1. Be generous with praise.
2. Get rid of the managers.
3. Make your ideas theirs.
4. Never criticize or correct.
5. Make everyone a leader.
6. Take an employee to lunch once a week.
7. Give recognition and small rewards.
8. Throw company parties.
9. Share the rewards—and the pain.

Leadership at all levels

Some of these tips may seem counter-productive until you read the full article at Inc.
My personal favourite is tip #5, which I like to express as ‘leadership at all levels’.

What this means is that you have empowered your employees with the appropriate knowledge, training, skills, tools and authority to make decisions and act on them with the goal of achieving your company’s goals.

Values based strategy

Leadership at all levels can only be achieved if your employees are just as clear as you are about what strategies, tactics and actions are required for fulfilling your company’s core purpose and expressing your company’s core values in their everyday interactions with colleagues and clients.

Here’s To Your Peak Performance, Productivity & Profits,
Karyn Clarke

If you are a manager or small business owner seeking to maximize your profits and the performance of the people you manage, without burning them out, here’s an enlightening video that demonstrates the mismatch between what Science knows and what Business does, between the carrot and stick approach and the value of really knowing your personal Motivation Code™ …

Dan Pink on TED Video – 18 Minutes

Backed by solid scientific evidence Dan Pink identified 3 core elements of what really motivates us – autonomy, mastery and purpose.

Autonomy
Pink defines autonomy as ‘the urge to direct our own lives’. He revealed evidence proving that self direction creates more engagement in workers for all but the most mechanical of tasks, and that attempts at external motivation work only in a limited range of circumstances involving non cognitive tasks.

In our one day workshop ‘Win at Work 101 - The Art & Science Of Peak Performance & Profits’  we reveal to you exactly what you must do to achieve autonomy by personalizing your peak performance and profits strategy.

Mastery
He defined mastery as ‘the desire to get better and better at something that matters.’ Our proprietary course ‘Win at Work 101 - The Art & Science Of Peak Performance & Profits’ reveals the secret to cracking your personal Talent Code™ and leveraging it to turn your key natural talents into strengths, plus we reveal how to apply those strengths to what matters most to you in your profession or business. 

Purpose
Pink defines purpose as ‘a yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves.’ In ‘Win at Work 101 - The Art & Science Of Peak Performance & Profits’ we show you exactly how to match your personal Talent Code™ to your unique Motivation Code™ to discover and apply your core purpose through our proprietary values alignment process.
