Team development: how can I make my team more committed to their work and how can I motivate them t perform better as team?

You can do that by taking the lead, put yourself in the front and lead by example. Use the stick and carrot theory by rewording hard work and sanctioning mistakes and laziness. Always brief your team at the beginning of every project and do debrief them too, so as to evaluate their performance and judgements. You can also advice them to put their heads together and find a solution when there is an issue, developed there decision making capacity by practicing the devision of labour or by assigning tasks to each and every one on the team. Also do well to make them understand the level of performance expected from them and compare the team with another performing one. Use numerical and graphical presentation when ever you are analysing the teams performance quarterly or yearly. This will also stimulate more performance.

The most wonderful trick for team development would be being nice and helping any team member in need, by going an extra mile. This would boost your goodness in their eyes, as far as team as a whole is concerned, take team meetings and discuss their issues to understand them better and sometimes take out everyone for team lunch and share rapport with each and every team member. If possible ,in leisurely times take one on one's and ask their strengths and weaknesses, help them in overcoming their weaknesses. THE BEST way is always encouragement and appreciation and RECOGNIZE each team members effort in your team meetings.

You need to be their friend more than their boss. Start helping them out in thier personal issues by giving them good advises and gaining their trust because if they keep coming to work with their problems at home in their heads, they won't be able to perform with their full potential. Take your team out on a work trip, like go to somewhere nice outside of office and do a day work over their. Be more supportive and never push them too much.

To love them with me

And encourage them to work hard for all other teams

And do not make room for mistake

And do not use the president's style with them

Solving, Not Just Selling

Stop selling your employees about why they need to perform better.  Explain why their contributions help solve problems and contribute to the company’s advancement.  Employees are more inclined to step up their game when they know their work can add-value to the healthier whole

Purpose, Not Just Profit

Employees are inspired by knowing that their hard work  makes a difference beyond profitability.  Employees want leaders who see beyond the obvious and look to create wider reaching impact that extends into the community and influences social causes

 

Know the Ingredients, Not Just the RecipeThe secret recipe to inspiring employees is to know the “ingredients” of the people you are inspiring.  People want to know that their leaders understand their tendencies, aptitudes and behaviors well-enough to best work with and motivate them.   The best leaders and coaches always doLearning, Not Just LecturingEmployees are tired of being told what to do.   They are eager to learn and remain relevant.   But they find it difficult to be inspired by leaders who only inflict fear.    In today’s fast-paced world, people don’t have time for lectures; they want continuous coaching and leaders that are paying attention.  Eager to grow, they want objective feedback. Respect, Not Just RecognitionBeyond appreciation and praise, show your respect and admiration for the work of your employees.  While people want to know they are respected, you must establish the ground rules for how respect is earned.

Motivation is key for team success. There are different ways; Appreciation, regard and reward, team involvement via feedbacks, joint outdoor fun activities, dinner, lunch, trips etc etc

The fact is, if you're the leader, work on yourself. It will create a picture of a true and honest leader in their eyes and they will follow no metter what you ask from them :)

There are many ways to increase team commitment but recently i read an article that can make a good contribution to this issue. One of the most initiatives to increase commitment is to develop team members authenticity. Becasue an authentic person has the balanced process mechansim he or she learn from the environment and this learning is helping to increase self awarness. When someone has enough self awarness of his or her beliefs,values and motivations he or she knows deeply for what and why he should commit to team's performance. When someone knows deeply his motivations he commit more seriously to engage in the team's performance.

There is a wise saying 'Behave Politely With a Stick in your hands'.

Give your team free hand in implementing their methodology, listen to them and encourage them on their proposed ideas so that they will think independently. Ultimately they have to work for you but the quality of work can be much better if they work independently. 

Last but not least, give rewards of their work and praise them where applicable. They can do wonders if they think that their boss is believing in them. 

There are few simple technics for getting best out of teams:

#1 - Communicate clearly the targets and deadlines.

# 2 - Be interactive, Listen actively and ready to take feedback and suggestions from staff

# 3 - Send note of Thanks to staff immediately upon activity progress

# 4 - Give Rewards and Recognition
