Motivating Employees to be Their Best

Register for Course

Course Description
Motivation is not something you do to others; people motivate themselves. This program is not about using traditional extrinsic motivation techniques such as rewards, incentives, and salary, to get employees to change their behavior based on external factors. This program is about helping managers and supervisors create a climate that fosters positive feelings and eliminates obstacles. The program focuses on providing  skills and techniques that you will need to help groups develop a sense of community, to acquire influence over their work-related actions, and to enjoy the openness of shared information and feelings.

Topics covered include:

  • Identifying major factors that affect motivation
  • Modeling the concept of accountability
  • Identifying inhibitors to fostering group commitment and passion
  • Teaching a four-step process designed to help groups learn from mistakes
  • Identifying strategies to deal with outside pressures, policies and systems that negatively affect motivation
  • Tailoring your leadership style to various employees’ motivational preferences
