As leaders, we quickly learn that others don’t always perform the way we’d like. We can be tempted to blame them, and feel frustrated that we can’t change them.
But what we can do is use the factors within our control to influence their performance.
How? Using four key tools:
- goal-setting
- support and empowerment
- feedback
- rewards and recognition.
There are no surprises here. But knowing which motivational approaches to use at any time with a particular individual can be tricky.
And as leaders, we need to influence more than just poor performers.
Why is it useful?
In today’s teams, we desperately need people’s creativity and ideas.
We need them to apply their technical and professional knowledge to complex problems.
And we need them to do that together with others.
It’s our challenge to create the ideal conditions for high performance, and sustain diverse teams in changing environments.
Let Leda show you how to do that consistently and successfully, and watch your team achieve more than perhaps even you thought possible.
