Want to get your team excited about a meeting or event you’re planning? Here are some suggestions to motivate your team.
Teamwork
The more meetings the better when collaborating for your next convention or event. A string of smaller meetings will ensure that all details are handled, or handed off to another team member who will be responsible. Plan your work and work your plan together. Preparing contingency plans should things go awry will instill confidence and good spirits. Success depends on the collective effort of the entire team. However, expressing praise for exceptional work, will encourage team members to go above and beyond to obtain positive feedback. .
Individual communication
Be available to meet with individual team members regularly and ask for updates. Everyone should know how to connect to each other throughout the event. Your team should be working off the same timelines, so they feel comfortable knowing exactly what to do during every phase of the event and every step of the way. Express your gratitude for work well done, so they know you notice their hard work.
Enthusiasm
Excitement is contagious. And so is stress. Share your vision and what drives you so your teams can be equally driven. Your team is watching your reaction to challenging issues that arise. Maintain your poise and focus to inspire your team.
