"My formula for a motivated team is to get to know them, uncover what they are passionate about, and find out how they like to be recognized. If I can provide my team with proper recognition, tasks that they enjoy and feel they are good at - then they will perform as well as possible. I know that the groups I will be leading will come from all across the organization and have very busy day-to-day work. To keep them motivated on my team, having clearly outlined goals and deadlines will be vital. Consistent communications and meeting schedules will also be important."
