How to provide Motivation and Support - Download

Written By Russell Futcher

Put people first

The number one people management skill you need to be well versed in, is motivating and supporting your team members.

Managers who actively support and motivate feel closer to those whom they are helping. By showing a sincere interest in your team members, you are building trust and inspiring others to achieve higher levels of performance.

A team is a group of individuals which must be managed as individuals. It is important to accept individual differences (e.g., some team members receive more encouragement, some more autonomy, others firmer standards, and still others more task structure. It also follows that when delegating tasks, it should be done as a means of developing team members.)

These techniques are based on the High-Performance Management model (Futcher Principle™), which uses a Transformational management style, that is, it puts people first. The risk is that you may attempt to use Traditional management style techniques which are outdated and run a high risk of demotivating team members.

The following Motivation and Support techniques result in substantial increases in performance, productivity and creativity. They solve a range of team member management issues.
