The Art of Motivation and Collaboration
- Are your teams motivated to succeed?
- Is there effective cross-departmental communication?
- Do your managers run effective meetings?
- Are your managers aware of the complexities of managing across cultures and generations?
Success in the modern business environment is determined by the ability of your people to work collaboratively. With flatter management hierarchies, a higher degree of competence in communication is an essential skill in the manager’s toolbox. Managers who employ a wide range of communication skills, including awareness of emotional intelligence, will better motivate and engage their people. Engaged employees listen rather than hear, therefore they contribute and become more valuable and proactive players in the strategic vision of the organiszation.
Communicating Effectively
Effective communication requires managers to accept and encourage information flow to be a two-way street. Consider:
- How do your managers run team meetings?
- Do they listen to their people and use their understanding of those team members to create a collaborative approach to problem-solving? If not, what is the cost?
- Relying too much on reactive tendencies results in low levels of leadership effectiveness which has a direct impact on business performance.
When a manager employs effective communication skills, their co-workers begin to respond positively, feel valued and experience high motivation levels. This is what we call inspired leadership. We help build communication skills; increasing engagement, working on emotional intelligence, and collaborating to effectively resolve conflict.
