Course Overview

Keeping employees motivated and challenged can be a complex task. Over the years, many leaders have relied on the carrot and stick motivation model (i.e. carrot is a reward for good behavior and stick is a consequence for poor behavior.) However, when your goal as a leader becomes compliance, chances are the leader will be the only one motivated in the team. This makes it critical for leaders to understand the needs of their employees and find other methods to motivate them.

This course will teach participants how to tailor their leadership and communication styles to suit the needs of the team. This will create a shared vision for the organization, build group identity, create a culture of ownership, and establish a more collaborative, inspiring work environment.

Completing this course will help you:

  • Define the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation models and stages of motivation
  • Determine the goals and reward system that is necessary to enhance motivation
  • Identify major factors that affect motivation

Who is the course for?

This course is valuable for any leader who is looking to keep their team motivated in a new and meaningful way and wants to step away from the traditional carrot or stick model.

Learning Path

Leaders should consider doing certain motivation models together that will enhance employee motivation. In this session, participants will explore the intrinsic and extrinsic models as well as identify the four stages of motivation, including clarity, desire, ability, and reinforcement.
