I found that one of the most valuable tools is to actually get involved with the work that your staff are doing. I don't just mean a token half hour which is always seen as a 'management ploy', but really get into what they do. If workload piles up, just get in and do some of the work yourself, for as long as it takes - the respect it gains you from your staff is incredible.

If people don't see that you are willing to practice what you preach you're going to be in trouble. when I was managing people I learned fast that setting an example got the most response and number 4 helped keep people fired up. Nice post. Number 1 was my best strategy for getting the most response from employees.

Thanks for that. Do you think that offering incentives for good ideas work. Do you not think that listening, involving and, possibly, implementing ideas from team members is, often, enough to increase motivation and productivity? Adrian Hi Stefan,

Great post. Thanks for that.

Working under a boss who is unable to give me anything of the above but still what I expect from his is some challenging work so that I enjoy my time in office. After the day gets over and I look back, I expect myself to involve in some brainstorming over the day. I also believe that challenging staff is the most difficult.
