Always let colleagues see their positive energy
A perfect leader never requires members to do more than they are willing to do. Become an example by working hard, always being the first to try to solve problems or accept tasks and others will follow you.
Willing to be the first to cope with all difficulties
Many people lose motivation because they forget the goal. An excellent leader will focus on the mission of the whole team or the organization and make every member committed to that mission. When the motivation decreases, the leader can remind the members about the common goal and the importance of the work they are doing.
Setting goals is one of the best ways to keep other members engaged and motivated to work. This is also a science subject and should pay attention to the process to be successful. There is an acronym * for the target set that is SMART: Specific (specific), Measurable (measurable), Attainable (capable of achieving), Relevant (relevant) and Time-bound (sometime Term defined). This means that the set objectives should be specific to measurable results. They also need to be realistic, not too far away (to be achieved) but not too low (not challenging enough), meaningful to each member and should have a specific completion time.
Research shows that the best way to motivate on a regular basis is to experience "small victories" by dividing the big work into small tasks, measurable steps and celebrating every time you achieve. be step by step. This is a strategy that makes the game more attractive - like when you pass each level in Angry Birds or Candy Crush or get a small victory in a big battle . It will all make you motivated gain more.
Gradually complete and celebrate small victories
You can use these techniques not only to motivate your team but also as a basis to encourage your children, students or yourself.
* Acronym is a word made up of the first letters of other words that itself can be pronounced as a word.
