How to Motivate a Team is a question many managers and leaders ask. In this video I take you through 10 tried and tested actions you should take to motivate your team.

I always felt that the more that I could do to improve the team, to train and coach them and get them thinking and involved in decisions then their motivation would increase, and this would encourage them to perform at their best.

How do you motivate your team?

There are many ways to motivate your team at work – it is important that you try different approaches that work with your style of management. Being genuine and authentic is a very important starting point.

Another key action to take to motivate your team members is to say no and protect the team. I always appreciated a manager or leader who would look after the team and ensure that everyone had the best chance to do their work well.
