Keep your staff motivated by serving them as example

Nothing motivates better than good example

As a manager of a company or a department, you should motivate your staff to work in the most effective way. The best method to motivate the employees is to serve as an example to them. When your team members realize that you don't demand the impossible things from them and your working day is the same as their one, it will keep them more motivated to work productively. So, show them that you are working the same hours your staff do, your work is no easier or less responsible than their, and you will be rewarded with increasing productivity and success.

"Work as equals" To Do List

• When you assign a task to your employee, think if you are able to do it yourself
• If the task is too complex don’t ask your team member to do it, because it will stress him/her and reduce his/her self-motivation
• Work the same hours as your employees and keep them aware of your working day
• Use software to create your and your staff schedules and keep them aware of your own work
