How To Motivate Your Team As A Leader

When it comes to motivating individuals and teams, a lot of leaders assume they need a great deal of power to make changes to the whole organization. But that doesn’t mean that, if you’re not, you don’t have any options when it comes to motivation. There are a few key levers that leaders at any level can use to help their team get more inspired to do the work they're tasked with doing every single day, and even help them expand their job into one that is more purposeful, more motivating and more engaging. And this will have a spillover effect in keeping the whole team motivated. It might even make you a little more motivated to lead that team. 

So, in this episode we’ll examine what you can do at any level of the organization to keep your team inspired and motivated:

Provide Autonomy
Give Feedback
Find Purpose

It doesn’t matter what level you're leading from, what makes you a leader is your ability to motivate and inspire.
