Here are three tips brought to us by the addicted2success.com website.
1. Celebrate even the smallest success
When your colleagues are doing things right, make sure you let them know. So do notice when someone always shows up to the office 15 minutes before everyone else or when someone proves that he really is great in following-up after meetings.
Let your subordinates know that you personally appreciate their effort. It may even be a simple gesture. In that way, you reinforce positive actions. It's also great for confidence in your team.
2. Give recognition so that everyone sees it
If you are giving recognition, do so publicly. With your top that's not usually a problem. However, also do try to do the same with new colleagues. A positive and winning company culture is defined and nurtured using precisely these steps.
Your colleagues will then subconsciously push each other to be even more productive and enthusiastic.
3. When confidence is high, throw in a demanding challenge
You need to provide challenges to your team in order to keep them committed to high performance. You have to be able to recognize when the level of confidence is high – and offer a new challenge.
Stretching challenges are great. They should be a little harder than the regular tasks. You will see that by completing more challenging tasks, your team's confidence and abilities will grow.
