Motivation = Moral values + Reality Principle

Howard Shore is leading executive coach and business coach who is sought after to help leaders and their teams to improve and accelerate performance and to create stake values to their business:

1. Create a clear vision. Identify the organization’s mission and goals, and make sure that everyone understands the rationale behind them and how they contribute toward achieving them.
2. Clearly communicate departmental objectives, and solicit input from your employees on what they can do to help achieve them.
3. Make an effort to
compliment each of your direct reports on at least a weekly basis.
4. Make employee development and retention a primary objective of each manager and leader and reward their
success accordingly.
5. Ask employees for advice in areas where they have expertise.
6. Involve everyone at all levels in the
goal-setting and planning processes, particularly if they are responsible for the results.
7. Let people know what is expected of them, and do everything you can to make them
successful.
8. Develop a
“servant leader” attitude, and be there for your people rather than having them there for you.
9. Treat everyone with
dignity and respect.
10. Stand behind your employees and back their
decisions.
11. Show the courage to let your employees
learn from their mistakes.
12. Take time to listen carefully to other people’s
interests, opinions, concerns, and goals.
13. Meet individually with your employees; help them clarify their
personal goals and values; and assist them in identifying the skills they need to achieve their goals.
14. Find ways to enrich the jobs of your employees by increasing their
authority or span of control.
15. Encourage employees to expand their
comfort zone.
