Money is the easiest, but not the best motivator
There is no doubt that money is a motivator, but it is not the best one.
For starters, money only works when you have it!
Money does not buy long term motivation, it only rents effort.
If you instead do the things that build genuine motivation and loyalty, your team will stick with you through good and bad (lean) times.
Then money (when you have it) can be a wonderful reward, not the sole reason for being there at all.
Getting people on your team to personally care. Really.
True motivation is about getting people to care on a personal level.
We talked about the things people really care about and how to create more meaning in the work. (which by the way is the #1 motivator for most people).
Creating meaning for people requires the right kinds of discussions and communication and showing genuine appreciation for the gifts and skills of each individual.
In the webinar we talked about how to make your employees feel like super-heroes so they are doing great things for the business and loving it.
Appreciation and respect take effort
Money is easy. (If you have it.) Creating meaning takes personal effort.
As a leader, I have always found that being consistent about showing appreciation and respect makes a huge difference.
In the webinar we talked about how to create an organizational habit around recognition. It’s really important.
Create Clarity
One of the biggest de-motivators is uncertainty. When people don’t have a clear picture of what they should be doing or why their work matters they start to worry.
When people are worried, they are not motivated.
If you are not communicating regularly and clearly, people will be worried.
We talked about the specific things you need to communicate to make sure you are removing uncertainty, and keeping motivation high.
Remove Negativity
Just know that it’s your most negative, lowest performer — not your most positive, high performer — that sets the tone and the performance for the whole team.
Negative attitudes and energy from even one person can destroy motivation for the whole team. You need to deal with it.
