Motivating a team with varying levels of intrinsic motivation requires a tailored approach that respects individual drivers. I start by getting to know each member's strengths, interests, and goals through regular conversations. For those motivated by recognition, I personalize praise by acknowledging their specific contributions in meaningful ways. For team members who value independence, I offer autonomy by letting them take ownership of certain tasks or decisions. For others, I align responsibilities with their passions, ensuring their work feels rewarding and aligned with their skills. By creating a supportive environment that meets individual needs, I

TALK TO YOUR TEAM! Find out the following - what they want - what’s their motivation for being in this role - how can they get that by doing this project/task/programme Your role is to document it, remember it, remind them of it, and keep them focused on it whilst things go wrong/right.

To inspire a diverse project team, focus on understanding individual drivers. For those highly motivated by purpose, emphasize the impact of their contributions. For task-oriented members, set clear goals and recognize achievements. Offer autonomy to those who thrive on independence, while providing guidance and collaboration opportunities for team players. Foster a culture of open communication and celebrate progress to keep morale high. Tailor feedback to align with personal growth aspirations, ensuring every member feels valued. You can ignite a collective drive to excel by meeting individuals where they are.

The most beneficial way to increase intrinsic motivation is for a leader to take the time to use appreciative inquiry to learn about their team member.

By understanding and utilizing individual motivations, we can achieve exceptional results. We should believe in our company vision, understand each team member's aspirations, and involve them in decision-making, planning, and problem-solving; they will find this enjoyable.

Align your team on the vision, mission, and core strategies, and then EXECUTE! This could easily turn into a philosophical piece about what motivates and inspires people, but in reality, the question itself is relative. You may not even meet some of your project team members until the start of the project and may not initially know what motivates them. Bottom line, make sure that everyone understands what they're doing, why, how, and by what standards. Communicate, be transparent, offer guidance and support, and do what you say you will do. This builds trust and appeals to people's desire to succeed. Only then do people become inspired.

What concerns me is that with the question- LI includes an AI summary of the topic, and essentially their suggested answers/talking points. If we are topic experts, why do we need AI input? And why is this AI summary not included for the general LI readership to dee along with our opinion? I love AI- and LI- but when we stop thinking critically and creatively everyone loses- we simply become parrots echoing an accepted/approved point of view. Instead, let’s encourage creative thinking, broad research and individual ideas. Let’s get back to basics.
