Motivation for Increased Effectiveness

1 day (workshop)

 

At the heart of effective team building is motivation skills. For motivation skills to succeed the difference between real and legal authority must be understood. Whereas we understand the need for (self) discipline, authority specifications, and a legal framework. Effective management is also about creating a culture that promotes ownerships and liberates initiative, creativity, and individual capability.

To realize individual potential and maximize performance, organizations need a culture based on change and human development. Empowerment based upon new leadership styles, behaviors, values and attitudes is essential. This requires trust, respect, confidence, and partnership. To effect change in culture and performance, motivation skills are essential.
