Stop Doing These Things to Avoid Demotivating Your Team
Leaders have done a pretty good job of creating great environments for their teams to work in. Thanks to this, we are seeing global job satisfaction scores increase.
However, with these great environments come problems of their own. Now, leaders are struggling to find ways to motivate their teams in a way that encourages them to work. In a world of side hustles and leisure, office jobs are looked upon as unproductive and less satisfactory.
So, leaders are constantly trying to find ways to ensure their team morale is high and they are motivated. However, there are some things leaders should avoid or else they could end up doing the opposite. Here is what they are:
Regular Meetings
Meeting regularly with your team is essential to ensure that they are on track. It is also vital for team morale and showing your team that you are there for further support if they need it.
However, regular meetings booked in the calendar can take your team out of the flow of work and reduce their productivity. By giving them more autonomy and freeing up their calendars, they have the ability to work on the task they feel are meaningful for longer.
