Motivation What is motivation?
Sitting on the couch, doing nothing else
-
100% motivated to just being there, relaxing.
It is more than just the desire to do something that makes us feel good. In this context: desire to work and progress ----> Achieving goals (orienting) Important in team dynamics: it is what drives people to work together.
How do I motivate my team?
Diversity and Communication
Ask instead: How do I motivate Individuals?
Communicate with them: What do they care about? What is their passion? What is their connection to your cause? *The David Project Although there is a common goal, some of your team members might have a different connection to the goal, or distinct smaller goals.
Progress
• People need to feel like they’re making progress • The Gameful Evolution of Motivation - Jason Fox (TEDTalks) • Individuals and Society
•
Motivation to play games that challenge you and measure progress
•
How can we apply this to team dynamics?
Apply theory to your team:
Acknowledge accomplishments
-
•
Small goals, rewards, promotions.
•
Make them feel like they’re going somewhere
Recognize Award Say THANK YOU!
Defining Success In one word, define what it means to have a successful team dynamic…
Success = D.R.E.A.M. ● ● ● ● ●
Acknowledging the diversity of your team Leading you to understand people through reflection Have effective communication strategies Showing appreciation Apply passion-driven motivation methods in team dynamics
Overcoming Challenges and Failing Forward Failure is not the opposite of success, giving up is.
Challenge is part of the process to achieve success.
Reflection and Reassessment
Constant Change = Constant Growth
As people change, you can make parallel changes to communication and motivation methods.
