Optimizing Staff Motivation‪.‬

One of the most important yet difficult responsibilities of a leader in any organization is motivating staff. Doing so goes a long way toward ensuring a professionally healthy and productive work environment. Given the importance of this skill, those leaders who are not able to do so either put their organization at risk or are not likely to endure in their own position. It has been well recognized for some time that positive motivators work far better than negative ones; the latter may work briefly but ultimately result in unhappy, resentful staff that will likely spend as much time considering how to leave their position as they do working in it.
