One Simple Way to Keep Your Team Motivated

During my conversations with leaders, a common sentiment is often brought up. Many leaders are concerned about a general lack of motivation among their workforce. Thus, the question becomes, how do we motivate our teams?  

One of the simplest ways to motivate your people is through establishing clear goals. I’ve found that once someone knows what they are working toward, they begin to make progress on achieving it.  

Goals are important to motivation because they give us milestones and objectives to reach. They also provide direction and focus in a busy work environment. Additionally, they offer us a way to measure our contribution and can help us feel we are accomplishing something of value.   

Most workers aren’t unmotivated, they just don’t have any goals.  Leaders who establish clear goals for their teams will greatly improve motivation and performance at work.
