flare of creativity into your management role.

3. A more productive approach would be to
encourage your team to perform self-
assessments and determine for
themselves which task they are best suited
for. This approach provides valuable
insight into your team’s ability to evaluate
themselves and is more likely to result in
your team being happy with their jobs.
Assigning Tasks To Your Team

4. If your team is struggling with deadlines, it
may be time to consider some more
creative options for setting and meeting
deadlines. Here are some ideas:
• Involve the team in the deadline-setting
process.
• Take the time to explain why meeting
the deadline is crucial to the project.
• Lead by example. Share the methods
you use to meet deadlines.
Setting Deadlines

5. Engagement refers to the interest with
which an employee goes about their work.
You can drastically improve your team’s
engagement through use of some creative
ideas.
Creative Ways To Engage Your
Team

6. According to a study conducted in the UK,
only around one-third of employees claim to
be actively engaged at work.
It was shown that companies with greater
employee engagement also depicted the
following benefits:
• Twice the Annual Net Profit
• 2.5 times greater revenue growth
• 12% higher customer satisfaction
• 18% higher productivity
Why is Engagement Important?

7. The study also found that companies
with higher engagement
reported 59% of employees felt more
creative at their jobs, whereas,
companies with low engagement
reported only 3%.

8. Here are some creative approaches you
may take to foster an engaging work
environment:
• Periodically assess your team’s
engagement. If someone isn’t happy
with their work, discuss ways to make it
more comfortable or enjoyable.
• Periodically assess your team’s
engagement.

• Periodically assess your team’s

10. Now let’s talk about some creative methods
to help you build a team that solves their
own problems.
Problem solving algorithm
Instead of handing your team solutions on a
silver platter, introduce a ‘Problem Solving
Algorithm’ for your team to follow when they
face difficulties. For example, you could
encourage your team to ask themselves a
set of problem solving questions”
Creativity in Problem Solving

11. • Is there really a problem? If yes, define it
clearly
• Why has this problem occurred?
• What solutions can you think of?
• Did those solutions work? If no, why not?
• What resources could we provide to help
you implement a solution?

12. The last job is to ensure that the team is
improving for the next project. To provide
feedback is being communicated most
effectively; expanding your feedback
sources and forms can prove helpful.
It can be valuable for the employee to
receive it from their manager and the
team they worked with.
Creative Ways To Effectively
Provide Feedback

13. It can also be informative to hear an
employee’s feedback of themselves.
Feedback can also be more effective
when provided in various forms. Instead
of following the standard MCQ feedback
form, try individual interviews, team
discussions, presentations, etc.
