How do you motivate your team to improve productivity to meet certain official deadlines?

Being able to motivate others is an essential skill in management and senior roles such as the senior account manager. The interviewer wants to know how you motivate others to meet deadlines. In your response, demonstrate your understanding of the needs of employees and what drives them to be productive in the workplace. Some examples include:

-Praising performance
-Recognizing skills and abilities
-Through your own actions

"The best way to motivate employees is by first getting to know them. Understanding how they like to be recognized and led can aid in determining the method used to motivate them when a deadline is approaching. I also like to express how they contribute to the team and how important their role is in accomplishing goals."
