1. Cultivate Intrinsic Motivation and Build Performance

Sincere Praise Cultivates Lasting Motivation!


This may seem oversimplified.  It may sound like some kind of pop-psychology nonsense. But it is so easy that most managers miss its value altogether doling out praise like it is the most valuable commodity the company has.  They only give it out on special occasions.  That is as ridiculous as it sounds. 

When you congratulate your people when a project or task is done well it increases motivation to do more good work. 

The good feeling people get from praise cultivates what truly is your company’s most valuable intellectual property, intrinsic motivation.  Praise for good work must be done on the spot or soon after the desired behavior occurs. Each time there is an employee/manager interaction some type of good gesture from the manager should take place.  Layer upon layer of kind encouraging words and actions cultivates intrinsic motivation.  I am not talking about empty praise, speeches, or obtuse positive speaking, but sincere thanks for good deeds committed by your employees.
