I am agree with your information and I have some information similar to you.
1. Lead by example.
In order to have a productive team, you must be a productive manager. Role-modeling what the employees are expected to do creates great impact not only on the team but on the work environment itself. It will also generate enthusiasm and will inspire everybody to work. Sometimes it’s simply because your employees are looking up to you. Small things like being on time or being energetic may affect your employee most. However, role modeling is sometimes easily overlooked. Be careful with what you do, how you say things, and what you say.
2. Proactively encourage.
Very often, a simple pat on the back can highly reassure your employees especially when it is crunch time. Attending to your employees’ concern proactively will motivate them to do their work effectively since they feel that their emotions are being valued by you as their manager. You may also remind them to take a break, show how their daily tasks impact the organization’s goal, give them immediate feedback, and set expectations. Doing this increases their eagerness to do their job. It is known that 53% of fully engaged employees state that they have learned a lot from their boss.
3. Coach in private, praise in public.
Regular feedback and reinforcement makes employees feel positive. But make sure that you do it in the right place. If you correct an employee in front of everybody, chances are they may feel disheartened and demoralized. It is imperative to coach your employees in private to avoid dejection from their end. Meanwhile, praise them in public to boost their confidence. This also spreads positive energy to the rest of the team, knowing that their good work might be someday praised in public too.
4. Give incentives.
Celebrate success. Giving your employees extra incentive aside from what they are compensated for monthly can be considered as one motivation driver. This type of motivation often applies if the performance of the whole organization is at par with its goals, be it monthly, quarterly, or yearly. However, keep in mind that it is not only monetary incentives that count. You may also include something that does not involve money. For instance, you may give extra leave credit for those who meet your requirements.
I think this is similar to you and hope it will help your followers.
