When it comes to motivation, are you just going through the motions? Make yours a GREAT team to work on. Here are a couple ideas adapted from ‘A great attitude’ www.qpcteam.com. - Keep your promises. Do what you say you’re going to do. And if you can’t, tell members as soon as possible.
- Don’t lie. Even little white lies to sugar-coat bad news destroy trust.
- Cut down barriers. Remove those obstacles that block the way your basis business and you’ll do away with an amazing amount of friction and drag.
- Keep score. How can team members know if the team is winning or losing if you don’t keep score?
- Recognize others. Asking for teamwork, then neglecting to recognize those who excel at it, signals that teamwork really isn’t that important.
- Have fun. Even the hardest workers need to kick back, laugh, and have a good time. Celebrate successes.
- Have Pride. What makes you proud to work here and be part of the team? What did you do today to merit that pride? Share your pride and ask your team members too.
- Communicate constantly. Tell them exactly what’s going on, why it’s happening and what they need to do for success. Ask questions and demand answers. Don’t hide behind technology.
- Do your fair share. All team members must be fairly tasked. (Share the ‘dirty work’).

– Aldous Huxley
“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.”
