The Importance of Motivation in
Project Management
 A poorly motivated team has been known to
unravel(undo) even the best project plan.
 A good project manager needs to know how to
harness(control) the initial excitement that
comes with starting a project.
 and use it to maintain motivation – leading to
success throughout the project’s lifecycle.
Motivators and De-motivators
 Let’s look at what turns people off and on in
project work.
 As per my knowledge, the biggest de-motivator
is when a project receives poor support from
senior management of the client organisation.
 Other demotivators include: internal conflict, an
absence of effective performance management,
micro-management or disparity in work
allocation or rewards.

at team meetings and publishing stories about key
contributors in the newsletter are some ways that
recognition can be achieved. Never underestimate
how powerful a simple ‘thank you’ can be.

 6.Set an Example:
 Team members will learn from the leader’s
behaviour and as a result will mirror such
behaviours.
 7.Identify What’s in it for Them:
 Whether it is an important social project that
aligns with their values, or it gives them an
opportunity to gain a qualification and earn
sufficient money to achieve personal goals –
team members are ultimately concerned with
