Motivating Employees - A Motivation
in the Workplace Online Interview
with Sandy, the Publisher of workplace-motivation.net
Page 2
 I am pleased to share this Motivating Employees interview with you. I think you'll love the infectious nature and straight-forward thoughts from the Publisher of a website devoted to improving motivation in the workplace, workplace-motivation.net, Sandy. This is page 2 of this interview, to read page 1 click here. We'll pick up where we left off from page 1, now... Suzie: What three actions could all leaders/managers begin taking today, right now, to improve workplace motivation right now? Sandy: It’s really, really simple. Start by showing you care about what your employees are doing. Nothing, nothing motivates people more than having your manager or boss show their genuine concern and appreciation for the work their doing. It’s so simple, it doesn’t cost money and the results are incredible. People don’t care about how much you know, until they know how much you care!
"The question managers need to ask themselves,
“What kind of energy are you sending out to the employees?"
---Sandy, Publisher of workplace-motivation.net
Suzie: What do you think keeps a lot of leaders and managers from waking up eager more often? Sandy: If managers feel that they have to face the day with less-than-motivated employees, it might be a drag on starting their day. It’s hard to be eager when your employees won’t be once you arrive at work.
When you have an energetic and enthusiastic group of workers ready to face the day with you, well, going to work will make your more eager. So focus on motivating employees and build up your team – inadvertently, they will build you up!
Suzie: In your opinion which of the 10 Wake Up Eager Mindset Essentials are most important to motivating employees and getting more motivation in the workplace? Which one would you recommend leaders focus on? Sandy: Your list of 10 Wake Up Eager Mindset Essentials is a fabulous list but since I have to choose one I would have managers and leaders focus upon “My Happiness is My Job”. When the leadership and management team is consciously choosing to be happy with their work, the trickle down effect to their employees (and motivating employees) will happen naturally. When employees are happy, they service customers properly. Satisfied customers buy. Satisfied customers return for more. The company will profit! A grumpy boss = grumpy employees = unsatisfied customers! Negative energy from management trickles down to the workers. The question managers need to ask themselves, “What kind of energy are you sending out to the employees?”
"Everyone says, 'Write your goals down!' But how many of us do that?
But it doesn’t do any good to write them on a piece of paper and lose the paper. You need to write the goals in prominent locations and review them every single day.
By reviewing your goals each day you will stay energized, focused and interested in your work! "
---Sandy, Publisher of workplace-motivation.net Suzie: What things do you personally do in the search for finding motivation and support and staying energized, focused and interested in your work?
Sandy: Easy – Goal Setting! I have my goals posted on my desktop. It seems so easy. Everyone says “write your goals down”. But how many of us do that? I’ve been hearing that message for 20 years. But it hasn’t been until the last 2 years where I write goals (long and short term) and review them each day I am working. Once I practiced goal setting/writing/reviewing, action occurred faster than before. It is very powerful. But it doesn’t do any good to write them on a piece of paper and lose the paper. You need to write the goals in prominent locations and review them every single day. By reviewing your goals each day you will stay energized, focused and interested in your work!
