Management Skills

Motivating People

Another
necessary management skill is motivating others. It's one thing to motivate
yourself, but it's quite another to motivate someone else. The key thing to
remember is that motivation is personal. We're all motivated by different
things, and we all have different levels of personal motivation. So, getting to
know your team members on a personal level allows you to motivate your people
better. Providing feedback on a regular basis is a very powerful strategy to
help you stay informed about what's happening with individual team members. You
can test your motivation skills with our quiz, and use your answers to develop
your skills further.

Key Points

  You need to develop and improve your
managerial skills on an ongoing basis as your career develops and as you meet
new managerial challenges.

  Whether you manage a department or a project
team, it's important to know how to get the work done right. When you're asked
to achieve something with the help of others, it's complex – and you spend much
of your time managing relationships instead of doing the actual work. So, you
must develop not only your technical skills, but your management skills as
well.

 Delegating,
motivating, communicating, and understanding team dynamics are some of the key
skills needed. With those skills, along with patience and a strong sense of
balance, you can become a very effective manager
