Question

Michael Francis Freyra · Answer

There are people who work hard, while some people work smart. If your team is doing their best and putting maximum effort in their work, then you have to review on HOW they do the work. Maybe they are carrying the barrel on their back, when it is obvious that rolling the barrel is more efficient.

You encourage them because you acknowledge they did their best. However, there is a need to re-strategise paying heed to the gaps and challenges.

Did my team do their best?

Analyse performance based on targets set, figures reached and physical input.

Strategise ways to get them on par by re-education, product knowledge and customer needs. Consider the state of the economy and its role in my team's performance.

Key factor is - if you need to double your income, you need to tipple your effort.

Keep them motivated and set the perfect example by showing them the way.

The question here is; Did they realy do Thier best? Ok before you answe this , you need to compare between your team's performance with other teams then find the gabs individually and team vs team, finally define the development area to improve and coach 
If they really did their best , then targets should be reset.
