Motivation: What it will take for your team to win

A few months ago my wife and I decided we wanted to take our Network Marketing business to a "Woman's Expo". We have a network marketing business and several affiliate marketing businesses. After some discussion with my wife we decided to invite a few of our team members to join us. We sent out emails inviting those that lived in the area. We had decided that it would be great for our personal home based business and for the team as a whole, the more exposure the better . After that we sat down with the Event rules in hand for guidance and made some rules we thought would benefit the whole team. We then sent out more emails and held a couple meetings informing everyone what we had planned.

It was just 2 nights before the Expo when half of the team decided not to go. We thought we had done everything right but what we hadn't done is involve the team in the decicion making and planning process.


Team motivation is always affected by a lot factors.
According to many experts, the clearness of purpose, the
actual challenges faced, the existent leadership, the
camaraderie and the development opportunities present in
the team will affect its overall performance.

Clearness of Purpose

One of the most crucial components that can keep a team
together is clarity of purpose. As long as the members of
the team hold a common goal or determination, they will be
motivated to act in agreement. According to late studies,
team motivation lives at its utmost when all the members of
the team have a full understanding of their function and
they strongly believe in what it is they are doing. To
achieve clarity of purpose and to afford each team member a
common sense of ownership over the team’s goal as a whole,
everyone should be involved in the decision making process.
Furthermore, involving each person in setting the focus of
the team is critically important to be sure that everybody
acknowledges the direction the team is headed in and what
specific roles each person is going to play to accomplish
the common goals of the team.

Present Challenges

Team motivation may be determined by the present challenges
faced by each team member. In most cases, teams work easily
during crisis and intense challenge. According to analysis,
human beings have the born ability to fight and defend.
This power to fight and defend is greatly heightened when
it is done by team efforts. To keep a very high team
motivation level, you need a few challenges to examine the
ingenuity, bravery and staying power of your team members.

Camaraderie

The human desire of each team member is very important.
Each person needs to belong and to be loved. It is very
important that each team member can feel the camaraderie of
all team members. According to recent studies, extremely
functional teams do not just work together; they also know
how to play and have fun together. To improve the social
human relationship between the team members, openness,
respect and honesty should always be practiced. A team is
like a family and needs to be close knit like a family.
Should you choose to lie to the members of the family, you
are bound to cause yourself trouble with all the members.

Leadership

Above everything else, leadership is the most crucial
aspect in maintaining a high team motivation level. A team
needs to have someone who can and will keep things together
and someone who will do the dirty work every once in a
while. The best of Team Leaders are just like the head of
any family. He or she should always without regard take
full responsibility of each person in the team. When making
the decision to choose a team leader, you should always
take into consideration the ability of the person to
inspire loyalty, trust, respectfulness and love from each
of the members of the team.
