Section 1: Becoming an Inspiring Leader

The most successful supervisors do more than just manage their employees—they lead them. A strong leader inspires employees to go for gold. And that leader reaps the benefits of team members who consistently go above and beyond because they want to exceed the expectations set for them. They want to be the best, and they’re motivated to succeed because their leader is there to show them the way.

A key to a motivated workforce is a loyal workforce, and to gain employees’ loyalty, you must prove that you are a strong leader. The kind of leader who exhibits the qualities that people look up to, admire and emulate. The kind of leader who walks the walk and talks the talk. That means you must take the steps very early on to prove that you are a worthy leader. If you live by the tips presented in the following pages, you’ll prove your ability to lead, which in turn will keep your staff motivated and inspired.

In this section, you’ll learn how to:

• Apply The 8 Communication Principles of Leadership.
• Draw out your leadership potential.
• Build your employees’ trust.
• Make yourself accessible.
• Foster your employees’ loyalty and respect for you and the organization.

Section 2: Discovering Employee Motivators

All your team members are motivated. The problem is that they may not be motivated to do what you want. By learning what drives them, you can influence their decisions about how they behave.

Each one of your team members may be motivated by something different. The awards ceremony that thrills one person may embarrass another. One team member needs a trophy to feel a sense of accomplishment, while another is thrilled by solving a problem and has no interest in a token of that success.

This audio conference will take you through the steps of understanding your team members and delivering the feedback that will drive them to perform better.

In this section, you’ll learn:

• Five keys to motivating others.
• A dozen categories of motivators.
• How to determine what motivates a particular person.
• The best way to balance different types of feedback.
• Seven ways to show appreciation.

To track what drives your team members, we’ve included a Team Member Motivators Form you can use to note each person’s preferences.

Section 3: Motivating People, Recognizing Hard Work

As you work through this program, you will discover how to be the kind of leader who inspires and influences people to excel. You’ll uncover leadership techniques that will motivate the unmotivated and allow you to maintain the motivation your team needs to reach its short- and long-term goals. You’ll learn how to determine what motivates particular employees, and you’ll unlock the keys to showing employee appreciation.

In this section, you’ll learn tactics for motivating your employees, from interesting, small—but powerful—rewards to specific language you can use to keep your staffers' morale and drive high. Every employee is different, so what works for one person won’t work for another. However, with the quick tips presented in this chapter, you can tailor your motivation and recognition processes to meet the needs of all the people who report to you.

Here’s to that success!
