Leadership - Motivating and Developing Teams

“Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence” - Sheryl Sandberg

The first thing to understand about motivation is that it is a feeling.  Motivation is, therefore, an emotion.  Like all emotions, you cannot ask a person to feel motivated – you need to give them a reason to feel it. 
While it would be great if all employees could come to work every day motivated by their pay and their responsibilities, the reality is that it is not always the obvious things that make people feel motivated.  This interactive leadership training starts with an in-depth examination of the psychology of motivation and then moves leaders towards understanding their responsibility in using various techniques and tools to build and utilise the strengths of each individual to create a highly motivated and successful team.
