The Art of Motivating a Project Team, II
In this part of the series I discuss motivating colleagues that are people oriented.
Motivating the People Oriented Colleague
The people oriented colleague is most concerned by building and maintaining the relationship between himself and those with whom he comes in contact. He wants everyone to get along and believes that teams and positive interaction are critical to achievement. With terms like ‘we’ and ‘us’ at the forefront of his vocabulary, he tends to have excellent business, as well as personal, relationships. A people oriented colleague is probably organizing the next social event, and has more than likely gathered a group to organize it with him. To motivate such a person, focus on the team aspect when speaking with him. Stress the importance of his place in the team, giving him the sense that the team would not complete its goal without him. Let him know that the team is relying on him for support and guidance.
