8. Recognize sincerely and in a timely manner Too often as managers we take the easy way out and recognize people only when we have a recognition program, or at the end of the quarter, or at a yearly review. People need more positive reinforcement that is both sincere and timely. As a manager, we need to search for things that our employees are doing and recognize them right away. However, do not make up or recognize things that are not sincerely appreciated – it is amazing how good people are at detecting these kinds of insincere or false praise. 9. Keep working at it My job involves working with motivation on almost a daily basis…yet I still need a lot of help in this area. I have to keep at it and learning every day. As managers, motivation isn’t something that we can schedule for every other Tuesday. It is a daily activity and mindset that we need to be constantly tweaking and improving. Of course, there are a number of other things that we as managers can do to impact our employees motivation, but hopefully these have provided you some insight.
