Motivate without Moolah

October 29, 2020 By Leave a Comment

How can I motivate without a budget?
Simple – use your leadership skills and lead.  Some simple tips to consider…
  • Be honest and become really trustworthy.  Do what you say you’ll do.
  • Remember always:  You are not responsible for another person’s happiness.
  • Give praise promptly and specifically when it is due.
  • Root out poor management; it’s a huge drain on staff morale, adversely affecting business performance. Whack ’em, and do it quickly.
  • Address poor/non-performance quickly, fairly and unemotionally.
  • Give your team flexibility, and the room to do their work.  Not many people work better under micro-management…
  • Create a compelling, energizing vision of your future.
  • Send handwritten notes.  Thank you’s, Birthdays, Company Anniversaries, or simply for motivation and/or encouragement.
Remind people frequently that you – their leader – are there, and there for them. And Be Brazen.
