Motivating Others: The Foundations of Inspiring Performance

Descripción

Managing others is one of the most rewarding and challenging responsibilities in the workplace, and strong performance requires more than talent. Employees need clear direction, meaningful support, effective communication, and the right motivation to succeed. This practical, management-focused course provides a structured approach to understanding what drives people and creating the conditions for sustained performance. You’ll explore proven techniques for goal setting, recognition and rewards, manager-employee relationships, coaching, supportive communication, and active listening, while also learning how to identify and address workplace challenges such as stress, negativity, and productivity issues. Rather than relying on generic management advice, the course connects key concepts to realistic workplace situations through hands-on activities, discussion questions, role-play exercises, assessments, and a course-end project. You’ll practice applying management techniques to real scenarios, including developing SMART goals, choosing effective recognition and reward strategies, coaching employees, and handling workplace challenges. By the end of the course, you’ll have practical tools to motivate, support, and lead your team with greater confidence.
