If you want to build a high performance team, then you absolutely have to learn how to motivate team members. Side benefits of this include high levels of team-member job satisfaction, and good staff retention.
You can stimulate high performance through providing interesting and challenging work, helping people set and achieve meaningful goals, and recognizing and rewarding high performance in ways that are valued by each individual.
Making a point of motivating people is a challenge in and of itself. Once you decide you are up to it, however, you too will reap the rewards and benefits. This creates a momentum that will help you and your team achieve great success.
According to Gallup's latest Employee Engagement Poll, 87% of the global workforce is disengaged. It's now more important than ever to inspire, motivate and engage your leadership team. To do that you'll want to use these proven employee engagement solutions.

Let It Go: How to Stop Micromanaging and Start Growing by Christine Perkett a...Engage
Starting a business is something entrepreneurs do because they are passionate about and good at a certain topic. But growing a business requires much more than your core competency – there’s a payroll vendor to choose and employees to pay, accountants and lawyers to hire, offices to rent, books to keep up with. There are sales processes to implement, software to buy, and many other decisions that have nothing to do with the reason you may have started your business.
As you grow, you have to hire the right people to do a multitude of jobs so you can direct and lead the business into the future. And this only works if you learn to let go of all the tasks that previously fell under your domain and assign new responsibilities that come as roles expand. Anyone can be subject to micromanaging: closely observing and controlling the work of subordinates. Recognizing when it goes too far can keep it from becoming a cultural issue and corporate mainstay.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur just starting your own business or a new manager within a larger corporation, growth becomes stagnant if you are unable to trust your team and stop micromanaging.
You will learn:
- Why micromanaging is bad for your business
- How to recognize if you’re a micromanager – and how to change
- Best practices for empowering and trusting employees
- Tips and tricks for hiring the best people for each job and lead them to success

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
