Six tips for managers on maintaining energy and motivation

A manager provides energy to their team when it is lacking, and acts as a source of motivation during times of crisis. For this reason, a team manager should be able to maintain high levels of energy and always quickly regain lost motivation. Here are six tips on how to do this.

Have a clear vision

The first step to finding motivation and energy to work is to determine where you are actually heading. So you need a clear definition of your vision and know what your goal is. This will allow you to keep moving towards that goal, even if you are experiencing a period of low energy or poor motivation.

Never forget your personal development

If you stop working on yourself, you will soon begin to stagnate and experience a loss of motivation or burnout. Do not invest energy only on on tasks and projects: you also need to work on yourself.

Set smart and realistic plans

Smart, ambitious but realistic planning is the key to success. If you set exaggerated plans that you then regularly fail to meet, you will soon lose any appetite for taking on other tasks.

Learn to delegate work effectively

Delegating work to subordinates and colleagues is not a sign of weakness or incompetence. It is a necessity, without which you will soon end up burnt out or at the very least very frustrated and overworked.

Keep strong ties with friends and loved ones

A supportive network of friends and loved ones can carry you through difficult times. Humans are social beings, and if you neglect socialising and personal relationships, even for the sake of work responsibilities, this will soon have a negative impact on your overall mood and resilience to crises.

Relax

Relaxation is not just a fad or a luxury. It is a necessity that allows you to take a break from work and recharge your lost energy. Learn to relax and plan for both short and long breaks from work.
