Alison Theaker: Motivation & Delegation - Getting the best out of you and your staff

Motivating your team will bring out the best in them, and ensure that they will go the extra mile. The key is to build on each person’s strengths. By understanding the models of motivation you will be able to adapt your style to suit the people who work for you. With your staff working effectively, you and your team can achieve more.
If you are finding that you have too many tasks to do in your working day, whilst your team members seem to be underperforming, improving your motivating skills will help. This course is suitable both for new managers, and for experienced managers who would like a refresher in this area and some new ideas on how to improve team performance.
And no matter how good you are, there’s only so much that you can do on your own. Being able to delegate effectively will improve your own productivity and improve the performance of your staff.
