The Art of Motivating a Project Team
Because people differ so drastically from each other, the ability to motivate them in such projects as multi-site rollouts, POS rollouts, or software rollouts can’t be written in a formula. Motivation is in fact an art that is composed of a number of factors including technique, understanding and creativity.
Technique, understanding and creativity are motivational factors based on the idea that people are motivated by different effects. As a project manager, it is important to recognize what your colleague is motivated by, and to then play on that as a means to propel him further. For example, if a project manager presents the need to finish a goal to someone who feels unaffected by the completed goal, the project manager may not achieve the desired results. Thus, it is important to recognize what it is that your colleague is motivated by. The following are three motivational categories that people typically fall under, and solutions for motivating them. In this three part series I will discuss three different personality types, and how to motivate them.
