NOTE-TAKING SKILL Activity A., p. 5 Answers will vary. Possible answers: If you are a leader, then you know that highly motivated people do better work than people who are discouraged, tired, or just unenthusiastic. But how can you keep a team excited over the long haul? How can you motivate them to do their best? Those aren’t easy questions, but here are three simple ways to start. First of all, make sure you’re communicating your expectations clearly. When you explain what you expect, you’re providing your team members with a specific goal. And this will help your team focus their energy and efforts on what is important. Beyond that, make sure to provide your whole team with feedback that will help them improve. Helpful feedback makes it easier for us to learn and develop, and it also helps us to identify and correct problems before they get too big. Lastly, remember to reward good work. © Oxford University Press. Q: Skills for Success Second Edition Don’t just be a critic. Rewards can be anything from a “thank you” to a party, a pay raise, or even a day off. Be creative, and don’t be cheap. Make sure your team knows when they’ve done well.
