I recently watched a video on YouTube of a seminar that talked about leadership and how to motivate. The video was of Dr. Patrick Dixon; he had some really good points that he talked about. It’s pretty amazing how just by leading a team without being the type of person that demands work from people and showing to much control over someone and just working with your team and having your team enjoy working with you will increase productivity in your team. When your team goes home feeling good about the day and not dwelling on the next day of work, people on the team will be more likely to do that extra little work and will most likely bring their friends to join the team which makes people have more fun while working. When moral is down it’s usually just one or two people that bring the rest of the team down. So it’s good to find those one or two people and get their moral back up get them enjoying what your team is doing and make them feel better about the way they are treated and that alone will increase productivity of the rest of the team and will make the team more profitable. Happiness is always more important than money. If you make your team members happy to work with you then they will most likely work for less money. This has been true for me. When starting my business I have had great people working with me that I normally would not have been able to afford with our startup budget.
Remember being a good leader and having respect for your people will make for a much better team. It won’t feel so much like work and people will enjoy working for you. Have fun and get more work done. Take a look at this short video below.
