Four allies to fight disillusionment
When teams face challenging times, leaders have four allies to preserve motivation and fight the tide of disillusionment: channeling the energy under negative emotion, growing relationships, connecting people with progress and building a sense of shared purpose.
Drawing on examples from elite coaches and performers in the world of sport, business and beyond, Maintaining Team Motivation gives participants a clear sense of what they can do to keep people energized, resilient and motivated through challenging periods – and a practical plan for putting those strategies into play.
Participants will learn to:
- Articulate how the emotional state of their team evolves through disruption and adversity.
- Identify and tap into the four main drivers of motivation under pressure: negative emotion, relationships, progress and shared meaning.
- Help their people process negative emotion and channel it into productive effort.
- Foster relationships that build a sense of community and esprit de corps.
- Establish shared purpose to inspire teams through challenging periods.
