Motivation influences the quality of work, effectiveness, speed, etc. When a company team possesses a good mood, it shows excellent results. So, how can we make the team be inspired and work productively?
“Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.” – Rudyard Kipling
Sure, the main factor is a good salary and comfortable working conditions. But also, an experienced manager should know how he/she should communicate with the team to inspire the people whom they manage.
So, in order to encourage the team, any manager has to tell some particular words that will make them feel comfortable and stimulated for good and productive work.
Using the proper manner of correspondence with the team is showcased even in an article published by Forbes. Based on the study, the most powerful phrases are the oldest and the shortest, like those mentioned in any advertisement – best, convenient, easy, power, results, save, fast, free, enjoy, and similar.
Of course, do not only proper words have a positive influence on motivation, but also a decent salary for the completed work. Still, speech is a powerful auxiliary instrument manager can use to inspire the team and make the employees work more efficiently. This is valuable when managing and coordinating a dedicated software team that performs innovative services.
A positive attitude to your team is of great importance for a manager. It would be best if you respect your employees. The first and primary step in any team, including top IT organizations in the global arena mentioned here: https://mlsdev.com/blog/top-custom-software-development-companies is to learn the names of all coworkers. It’s no good whether you address a person not by name but by using some exclamation like: “hey,” “you,” ‘salesman,” etc. It would be best if you respected the human personality.
If the person feels that you do not care about who he or she is but just what: “a writer,” “an IT guy,” “an artist,” – he or she may lose not only motivation but the uniqueness of the skills and qualities he/she possesses, and as a result, you will get a poor outcome or nothing at all.
According to MindTools, you can learn how to build positive relationships with your team for productive work. You should be patient but punctual, friendly but professional. You should mix different qualities of attitude not to turn the working process into a kind of party.
Thus, words are the instrument to interact with each other. They have the power to motivate or discourage, to inspire or feel misery, to make the team love or hate their manager.
Now let’s see the examples of the keywords that can make your team feel inspired:
- Describe a positive work environment: fun, supportive, rewarding, etc.
- Give good feedback for a resume: focused, confident, experienced, etc
- Main words for motivation: enthusiastic, progressive, innovative, eager, high-quality, skilled, committed, etc
- Words to promote a positive workplace culture: sincere, aspirational, efficient, etc.
Overall, whether you’d like to build a friendly team giving good work results, you should use such instruments as positive words to inspire your employees.
