If you were the manager, how would you motivate your team?

"In my current role at a fintech startup, I lead a small team of account managers. In the beginning, I spent time getting to know them so I could find out what they like, what makes them tick, and how they like to be recognized for a job well done. For example, one of my colleagues will do anything to earn a financial bonus, while another just wants verbal praise after she's achieved something. It's important that I can reward my team in ways that are meaningful to them. I also encourage social get-togethers like happy hours and volunteer events; when we spend time together outside of the office, we strengthen our relationships. In the end, I try to make sure everyone on my team feels understood, appreciated, and recognized, which inevitably leads to success."
