Of all the resources a project manager has to learn to control, their team is probably the most complex. Keeping your people motivated, enthused and focussed on the finish line is critical to the successful delivery of your project, but how do you do that exactly? Here are 12 things you need to start doing if you want to have a motivated project team:
1. Start with you: A team will not be motivated without a motivated project manager at the helm, so whatever sort of a day you've had, pull it together and be a role model of positive energy whenever you're in sight.
2. Share information: Keeping everything as open as possible will lend a sense of ownership to the project. Team members will feel a part of the process, and will often provide excellent suggestions for improvement.
3. Discuss problems: Take your problems to them and let them help you talk it out and brainstorm solutions.
4. Set milestones, and let them know when they get there: Milestone setting is a critical part of the project planning process, and most PM's will remember to do this. However, many forget to feedback on where they are, and to congratulate when milestones are achieved.
5. Give positive feedback more often than negative: Try to give at least one positive with every negative when it comes to feedback time. Remember to praise up achievements as often as possible.
