A Simple Model for Team Motivation

<p>Team Motivation is an ongoing challenge for many leaders, because work isn't the only thing many team members want to be doing. Some team members are very motivated and career-focused, but I've found this isn't necessarily the norm.</p> <p>That doesn't mean we give up on the other team members. Leaders have a responsibility to try to bring out the best in their teams, and we can do this by working with our people and understanding their goals and aspirations.</p> <p>You can see the simple Team Motivation Model below, with the five components <strong>Aspirations</strong>, <strong>Purpose</strong>, <strong>the Pathway</strong>, <strong>Hygiene Factors</strong> (or Environmental Conditions) and <strong>Team Harmony</strong>.</p> <p><img class="wp-image-5625 size-full aligncenter" src= "https://www.thoughtfulleader.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Team-Motivation-Model.png" alt="Team Motivation Model" width="580" height="364" /></p> <p>See if you can use the model to prompt you with ways to improve the motivation in your team. Your team members will thank you for it!</p> <p><!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-dots"} --></p> <hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-dots" /> <p><!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>If you like this episode, I'd be ever so grateful if you could <strong>please leave a review</strong> <strong>on <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-thoughtful-leader-podcast/id1452121137" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Podcasts</a> here</strong>.
