How to Boost Team PRODUCTIVITY l 3 Strategies

in this video I'm going to break down for you the science behind building an extremely motivated team I'm going to go into the details of how do you make sure that your team members take ownership are committed and do whatever it takes to produce the results and are building the organization with you like a partner and for those of you who watch this video till the end I also have a special gift but I'm going to be giving away a 40 minute highperformance training to help you understand how do you scale your business there's a

lot of strategies in there so I want you to make sure that you're a finisher when it comes to watching this video now when we think about motivating team members the normal notion is that there's only one thing that motivates employees to do their best and that one thing that most people think about is Cash the more you pay the more I will do this is a notion that most people carry but there was an interesting experiment done by a bunch of of human behavioral scientists from Stanford University right here in India they took a

bunch of employees of an organization in madur in Tamil Nadu and they created an environment where they say higher the performance higher the pay guess what even after having an equation where people get paid a lot of money when they perform better they realize that higher the pay lower the performance now they replicated this study across different parts of the world and the reports and the result was the same money does not motivate people to do their best every single day money can create a temporary spike in people's performance but then people go back to

the same old ways of doing things so they said you got to pay people enough you got to pay them enough so that when they come to work they are not worried about the money they are focusing on the problems that they have to solve at the workplace now if you under pay people obviously they are only going to be worried about the money and that's not a healthy thing to do but I'm here talking to you today about how do you create sustained motivation how do you build a workplace where people are naturally high

energy and are driven to do whatever it takes so cash is important as an aspect only to a certain level there are certain deeper elements and using this Iceberg today I want to go into the deeper elements of what motivates employees cash is what we see from the outside but it's not the driving force so let's understand what's below the waterline that truly motivates people here's the first aspect the first aspect that truly motivates people is only when they feel a sense of connection to the workplace now when do people feel connection at a workplace

here are the things that you need to take care of for people to feel connected and built a bond with the workplace number one when there is a clear big Vision think about it if people understand what are they contributing to what is that bigger picture what is that Big Goal what is that big Vision that they are a part off then they feel connected to the work of the organization so ask yourself is there a clear big Vision while you're building your business and do your team members know what that clear big vision is

because if team members don't know what that clear big vision is they feel that they are just clerical contributors who are coming to do some clerical job and get out of that so one aspect of building connection is to have a clear big vision for the business but it doesn't end at just having a clear big vision for the business it also then extends into you as a management as a owner as a leader in your organization taking the time and effort to understand the personal goals of your team members the question question you need

to ask yourself is this have you sat down with individuals on your team and really ask them questions about what do they want to achieve for themselves what do they want to accomplish in their career what do they want to create an experience for their families when you as a management team or a leadership team spend time with individuals in helping them create clear personal goals that's when they feel more connected to the organization and the leadership now please understand this when you sit with your team members and ask them what are their personal goals

what are their personal aspirations what do they want to accomplish in their career what do they want to create and experience with their families most people will not have a clear answer because most individuals themselves don't know what they want but the fact that you facilitate this conversation ask these questions and Trigger them to think in this direction establishes a deep level of connection because that's when they understand understand that here is an organization that really wants me to grow and become a better individual so connection has two driving forces one to the business by

creating a clear big vision for the business and second with the individual by going in detail and understanding their personal aspiration goals so that's what creates connection and that connection creates natural motivation not external motivation the second aspect that creates and contributes to a motivated Workforce is when you as an organization help them enhance their capabilities now what do I mean by helping them enhance their capabilities now as an organization when you hire people it's not just a one-sided relationship where they need to contribute results it's a two-way relationship where you need to contribute to

their growth their development their learning now what are the aspects where you need to focus on capability development when it comes to your teams one aspect is job related skills where you have training and mentoring uh initiatives for your team members for the technical skills and the technical knowledge that is required for them to do their job role well so for a salesperson it would be sales training negotiation training presentation training objection handling training closing training those are job related skills for a salesperson so at the end of the day based on different job roles

you need to break down what are the critical skills and knowledge required and have job related training and mentoring initiatives to enhance people capabilities but it's not just job related capabilities that you need to focus on apart from job related capabilities you also need to train and Mentor your team members on what I call interpersonal capabilities now what are these interpersonal capabilities these interpersonal skills are people management skills communication skills at the workplace with peers with subordinates with managers teaching them how to manage relationships at the workplace no school no college no University prepares people

for this and that's why you have people who are very raw they may have the job related skills but they don't know how to manage relationships at the workplace they don't know how to handle human emotions they get stuck in Petty traps of ego gossip groupism blame game so as an organization this is a very critical aspect you need to enhance people's capabilities on and the third aspect where you need to enhance people's capabil is on is life skills now what do I mean by life skills as an organization teach your team members how to

manage their personal finances teach them how to utilize their salary how to save money how to invest money how to use money for the recreation of their family teach people how to take care of their health their personal nutrition diet exercise yoga now when you go the extra mile and run simple training and mentoring initiatives on these life aspects then you are making people a better version of themselves you're not just making them better professionals you're making them better human beings and when you have better human beings you have higher motivation higher performance as a

natural byproduct of that which brings me to the third and final point but before that I want to give you a very very special gift by now you should have realized that for you to build a high performance workplace and for you to have a highly motivated team first you need to enhance your capabilities now for for you to enhance your capabilities as a business owner I have created a 40 minute high-intensity training which I have attached as a link below in the description make sure you click on that link and watch that 40 minute

free training it's a one-time opportunity that link May expire in a few days so make sure you take action right now so with that let's go to the third invisible force that helps you in building a m motivated team and a high performance workplace and the third invisible force is Care at the end of the day what you need to understand is this care is an intention you either have as a management or you don't have as a management if you as a business owner or a leadership team walk into the workplace and you look

at your team members just as resources who will help you get the job done then you miss the bus my friend today people don't just want a workplace that can give them a job opportunity and then can pay them some amount of money as a salary for them to sustain their lifestyle today when team members come to work they come to work for a certain experience and if you really want to enhance that experience and get the best out of people you need to walk in with the intention of Care Now what are your indicators

for you to demonstrate Care at the end of the day you need to ask yourself this question are you a fair workplace which means what in your workplace as a leadership team as a business owner are you practicing Fair practices of incentivizing people of recognizing people of rewarding people of making sure that the culture is clean so that there's no office politics and blame game and groupism that people have to encounter when they come to work every single day fairness runs and reflects in every single decision you make as a business owner so you need

to build a workplace that is fair the second thing that showcases care towards your team members and employees is when you are taking care of their work and their life balance look remember this work is a part of people's lives if you are an organization that drives the narrative that work is your life then unfortunately in today's day and age you don't attract talented people talented people today want to focus on high quality living and a part of that high quality living is contributed when the workplace acknowledges and understands that people have a life beyond

work so expecting your team members to work on weekends expecting your team members to stay back every single day and work till late hours of the night expecting your team members to sacrifice their holidays or expecting your team members to come to work even though they are unwell it's not going to work we are in 2023 we are not in 1993 where you can exploit people and get work done so you got to take care of people's work and their life beyond work as well as an organization so you attract retain and build a highly

motivated Workforce and the third and final element that showcases care to your team members is the fact that are you being a workplace that celebrates people there was a study that was done with high performers who had quit their jobs and when the reason was dissected on what led High performers who were doing well on the job to quit their jobs the number one reason was that they felt that they were not acknowledged enough they were not celebrated enough see there's a very uh nice quote I once heard from a team member in an organization

I was coaching they said sir my boss abuses me and brings the roof down when I don't do what I'm supposed to do but when I'm doing what I'm supposed to do they don't even tell me that I'm doing what I supposed to do so how do I know if I'm contributing or not that's a very valid question that a lot of people have when they are contributing am I doing the right thing am I adding value am I being able to contribute to this workplace and if you don't have a culture of celebrating people

acknowledging them recognizing them then naturally people don't feel motivated even though they are doing the right things you need to let people know how important they are how valuable they are how precious their contribution is so that they know what more to continue doing but if you don't celebrate them then you'll have your highly capable team members highly contributing team members over a period of time losing motivation and morale and eventually quitting the organization so when you celebrate it shows that you care for the contribution that they provide so these are the elements the combination

of all these forces is what helps you build a highly motivated team I hope you got some actionable insights to implement at your workplace and increase the ownership and motivation level of your existing teams now while you've learned from this video make sure you go to the description of this video and click on the link where I've done a 40 minute free training to break down for you how do you build a scalable and a profitable business watch that video and let's continue the Journey of working together
