72  Do You Know How To Motivate Your Team?

You know what your team does.
➡️ But do you know what drives them?

Because motivation isn’t one-size-fits-all.
➡️ What fires up one person might drain another.

💡 If you want to boost performance and build real commitment to goals, you need to understand what motivates each person – and shape goals that tap into those drivers.

👉🏼 Collaboration or autonomy?
👉🏼 Predictability or risk?
👉🏼 Learning, recognition, creativity, or enjoyment?
👉🏼 What makes them feel valued – and valuable?

💡 If you don’t know what motivates the people you lead, how can you bring out their best?

When you tap into what drives people:

Energy rises
Communication improves
Performance skyrockets
Retention soars

🧠 It’s not about pushing harder.
🧠 It’s about creating the conditions where each person can thrive.

🎯 Try this today:

🔹 Ask each person: “What’s the best thing about your job?”
🔹 Then really listen. The answers will surprise you.

People are unique ✨
The fastest way to unlock their full potential is to understand:
1️⃣  their strengths, 
2️⃣  how they work best, and 
3️⃣  what motivates them.
