Description
Motivation is tricky for all teams, co-located or remote. It's hard for many team managers to find a way that motivates each individual. And it’s even harder to find way to motivate the team as a whole. But, co-located teams have a lot of advantages. When you're seeing each other day to day, you get a better picture at what's going on behind the scenes in someone's mind and what you could latch onto to inspire and motivate them.
In a remote team, that's a whole lot harder.
There's a lot of barriers to, well, a lot of things on remote teams. Uncovering what drives the individuals on your team is one of them. So in this episode, we’ll review four methods you can use to motivate any team, but especially a team that's been asked to work from afar:
1. Check In Frequently
2. Build Connections Deliberately
3. State Purpose Clearly
4. Share Stories Regularly
Done well, distance doesn't have to be a barrier to motivating your team as a leader.
