How to Keep Team Motivated

#1 Team Contract:
1. Goals
2. Responsibilities
3. Norms

#2 Short Frequent Meetings as opposed to long drawn out meetings

#3 Stand and Deliver

Teams are the way that most companies get important work done. When you combine the energy, knowledge, and skills of a motivated group of people, then you and your team can accomplish anything you set your minds to.

in my experience great crew leaders worked hard at organizing and having a game plan, they then intermittently check in on your work and field any questions or concerns. great team leaders make you wanna work hard for them as they are working hard for you.

Team work and various leadership, caring stewardship, protection, utility… all sorts of matters of work. It elevates in different ways and missions and people. It’s all good. Breathe…

I notice if people aren't feeling good. Saying something literally anything will normally heighten the mood. Sometimes weird/funny situations happen which can change the mood. Change the mood.

This video explained me how a team should be approached, monitored and motivated.

it need not be a so called "meeting".Just a tea time discusssion while chilling will let everyone share their ideas it's the comfort we give that creates the change

[roiferreach]

I have a feeling that contract will drag the team members more, short and frequent meeting is ok, why not listen to each of them and their ideas, and give them a little space to work on their ideas? let them inspired by their own creativity.

Well said! Connecting with team members is indeed makes managers great.

I love the short frequent meeting idea...makes so much more sense...creates frequent exposure to management...the team has to frequently report...but at the same time they are not in a meeting so long that their attention begins to fade and therefore the meeting becomes a waste of time...great points

A powerfully delivered information in few minutes...What are the importance of Emotional Intelligence in team work?

[jmojica]

I'm in the process of taking the advise from this video. What are norms?

[greatbychoice]

I will just add a VERY IMPORTANT INGREDIENT to the contract that maybe it is implied but it needs to be included. WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME?. The contract needs to specify what benefits will the teammates get if they accomplish the desired results. This benefit has to be for the teammate and not just for the company. This is has to be a win win situation.
