Bringing Out the Best in Your Team

Every manager, at one point of time or the other has encountered the issue of employee motivation. While it is a widely accepted fact that employees who are motivated at workplace perform better than others, the real question is, how can one motivate their team to give its best? The answer to this question largely depends upon your personal style of leadership.

There are basically two types of leaders - diminishers and multipliers. Diminishers are those who believe in flaunting their own intelligence and undermining that of their employees. Such leaders often constrict the creativity, intelligence and smartness of their employees. Needless to say, such employees struggle to achieve their targets and often fall behind their well motivated counterparts. Multipliers is that category of leaders who believe in the capability of their employees and look out for options to harness the best in each of them. They do not brag about their own intelligence, instead identify and nurture the potential of their employees. Such people are easier to work for and often bring out the best in their team. 

While there are no guidelines regarding the best business strategy to motivate and bringing out the best in your team, some pointers can definitely help you. 

Provide Guidance and Step back

Brief your employees regarding what needs to be done and leave the 'how' part to them. You will be amazed at the solutions and suggestions you will receive.

Encourage Brainstorming

Value the opinion of every employee even though it may be insignificant. Your employees should not feel disrespected and thus, refrain from neglecting their inputs. Encourage healthy discussions, brainstorming etc.

Give Due Credit

Do not shy away from praising an employee who has gone that extra mile for achieving results. Give due credit to the team for their performance. Similarly, do not shrug responsibility when it comes to facing a failure.

 

Reward and Celebrate

Monetary rewards may not be a good idea always. Instead, look for funding a special skill or education for an employee who deserves it. Also, take some time to celebrate team achievements or milestones. 

Inspire

Be the leader your employees would like to follow. Always practice what you preach and set an ideal example for your team.  

Follow these pointers and see for yourself the change in the performance of your team.

Organizational skills Gap

There are many aspects that go into the making of a company. Whether it is hiring the best talent, increasing revenue, maintaining the lead in the market or defining which processes to follow internally, all of these require a lot of forethought and careful planning. In order to meet these demands and anticipate future requirements, all companies endorse a strategy – an account of a course of action that is future oriented and which constantly aims for change.

Change is good. In this dynamic market, any company that stagnates loses out to its competitors. Change is what defines success for a business, and what causes a company to embrace change is strategy management. Most companies have a strategic plan in place in order to meet their missions and objectives successfully. By linking it with their HRM, organizations can make human resource decisions now that will help them support the direction of the organization in the future.

Strategic HR planning is an important component of organization's human resource planning. In the simplest terms, it is the process of linking your company’s human resource function to the strategic objectives of your organization so as to improve performance. It integrates all the management principles and systems of HRM which are in place, with the overall strategy and mission of the company, while at the same time meeting the needs of the customers and stakeholders.

Beyond its obvious benefits, strategy planning has another, bigger benefit – it influences the intangibles. According to analysts, more than 65% of a company’s stock price is made up of intangibles like brand value, innovativeness, culture and reputation. All of this is a direct result of Strategic HR planning. This is because one of its main functions is to ensure that there are adequate human resources to meet the goals of the organization i.e. the right people possessing the right skills are available at the right time. It acknowledges that intellectual capital is a major competitive advantage, and it is the people of the organization that implement the strategic plan. It considers any people issues that affect the strategic plan of the organization (or are affected by it), including leadership and positive labor relations.

In order to implement these strategies and help drive changes in the workplace, companies often call upon the services of consultants. Due to their specialized knowledge in this field, organizational development consultants help businesses solve problems and accomplish their goals. They are independent experts who recommend changes in an organization by analyzing the corporate environment in order to improve employee morale and boost efficiency. They offer advice and leadership in strategic planning and development. After all, it is in every company’s best interests to invest wisely in influencing their human capital strategies.
