"Motivation" is an art, but not everyone can use it well. Leaders or managers of some enterprises often use it to motivate employees with anxiety. Because we often worry about our employees, we transmit our worries to them. However, this method can only make everyone anxious. If they rely on the boss to push them step by step, employees will only do what the boss wants them to do, without their own ideas, unable to play their best. So, as a leader, how to motivate employees? Look at the following four ways!
Listening to employees' opinions is the first step. If you don't know what the employees are thinking, how to motivate them? Therefore, listening to employees' opinions frequently not only improves their enthusiasm, but also enables the boss to fully understand the employees, which is extremely beneficial to the long-term development of the company. Before a decision or a plan is issued, let the staff discuss it. If there is any opinion that can be adopted, it is best.
One management scientist proposed that the master-slave leader, that is, the leader should provide employees with the space to give full play to their potential, and should serve them, rather than limit their behavior everywhere. To put it simply, let employees open their hands, because people's potential is huge, and we should explore their best.
Many leaders like to constantly exert pressure on their employees to motivate them. They always believe that 'pressure can be converted into motivation'. In fact, high pressure can only make employees feel nervous, which will make employees perform worse and worse. Therefore, praise means praise. Don't exaggerate the situation when criticizing.
It is also very important to know how to appreciate and reward employees. Remember the strengths or interests of each employee and recognize their contributions to the enterprise. Then give a specific example of his recent performance that impressed and benefited you a lot. In this way, employees can feel that the leader has been paying attention to him.
