2. 8 Things the Smartest Leaders Do to
Motivate Their Employees
Science has found that positive emotions are at the root of human
motivation. It's how employees "feel" that will drive the motivation deep
within them. Here's where to start

3. Start with scheduling more one on
one time
Leaders thrive when they strengthen relationships with their people by
spending more one-on-one time with them to hear their suggestions, ideas,
problems and issues as well as talking about performance issues and their
work.

4. Find out what motivates them
Great leaders show an interest in their people's jobs and career aspirations in
order to motivate them the right way. Once that's been established, they
look into the future to create learning and development opportunities for
their people.

5. Provide the resources they need to do
their work exceptionally well
It's a simple question, but you'd be surprised how often it is not asked: What
do you need right now to do your job better? You may be surprised, or even
shocked at the answer; it could be that they need access to more
information to make the right decisions, bettter equipment or even another
work space. Acting on what you find out will be a huge motivational
booster.

6. Praise and compliment them often
The companies in Gallup's study with the highest engagement levels use
recognition and praise as a powerful motivator to get their commitment.
They found that employees who receive it on a regular basis increase their
individual productivity, receive higher loyalty and satisfaction scores from
customers, and are more likely to stay with their organization.

7. Help co-create purposeful work
People want meaning and purpose in their work. In the book Give and Take,
Wharton professor Adam Grant says that when people find purpose in their
work, it not only improves that person's happiness, it also boosts
productivity.

8. Help them develop new skills
Although important, I'm not so much talking about putting them through
another required technical or safety training program to keep them or
the business compliant, but actually giving them meaningful new skills or
knowledge in other areas that they can use to leverage their natural
strengths for future roles, whether with their current company or another
company. The point is to serve and value them so exceptionally well as
people and workers that they have no reason to leave but use their
newfound skills for new projects.

9. Actively involve them
Great managers recognize that leadership doesn't travel one way but is
multi-directional. While it can come from the top down at critical times, the
best scenario is allowing decisions, information, and delegation to travel
from peer to peer or from the bottom up, where the collective wisdom and
involvement of the whole team help solve real issues in real time on the
frontlines.

10. Believe in them
 The best managers delegate often and give their employees
responsibility for delivering challenging work. If this doesn't happen in
your workplace, consider two hard questions:
 Do you trust your knowledge workers to do what they've been hired to
do?
 Do they have the right competence for the job to carry out the work with
confidence?
