Inspiring and Motivating Individuals

Leading People and Teams,

In this course, you will learn how to create a shared vision for your team and effectively communicate it to your teammates. You will also learn how to set effective goals and expectations in a way that best enables your team to attain the shared vision. Finally, you will understand the most important needs and drivers of performance across cultures, and will learn to align rewards with desired behaviors so that your teammates are motivated to attain the team’s objectives. Motivation represents a crucial challenge for contemporary organizations: A recent Gallup poll revealed that only 13% of workers worldwide exhibit high levels of engagement and motivation. We will show you why these motivation problems are not simply due to a “bad” or “unmotivated” team member. Rather, motivation is very much driven by what work conditions we create for our teammates, how we structure goals and objectives, and how we reward people for the accomplishment of those goals. This course will help you diagnose and solve motivation problems so that you can bring out the best in your people.

Have taken more interesting courses What an excelent course, I learned a lot about how to motivate and inspire my team I liked, very profesional and learned a lot.I miss some guides or tools to implement con real life.

I mean that one thing is to learn, but to really get this into daily real life is the big deal.

The knowledge gained is practical and applicable to real life situations.

Very good content and essentially methodology of applying the knowledge learnt in real life cases Well paced, interesting, informative and applicable.

E This course presented excellent educational material, activities and examples from real life that helps you to go through all the content keeping your interest from the beginning to the end.

The content and real life examples make it relevant to professional development.

So some assignments are difficult to complete because they particularly ask you for real life experience, which students my age most probably don't have.

Wonderful course from wonderful professors including many scientific works and real life examples.Thank you.

Overall the course in good Excellent course for understanding real life scenarios faced in organizations and how we can improve upon henceforth I loved this course as it provides all the necessary things that must come forward in order to sustain such situations that are favourable and eliminate all those steps that could harm any work or project.

really liked

Really liked this course as introduction to the leadership course.

Very helpful for me as I grow my leadership skills to accelerate my business I really liked the design of the course, the examples quoted and the clarity with which the course is delivered.Thank you for such a wonderful learning experience This course perfectly sums up what individuals value and what are the ways managers can assess and better engage employees to drive performance.

I really liked the concept and the way it was delivered with great examples.

Thanks to team that put together the course, I really liked itIt covers the topics in sufficient detail with relevant cases /examples, which makes its really easy to get the concept.Would be nice to also have (which is why I did not give it a 5 on 5) - A section on team structure (which in my view is the missing link for this course and which often is a challenge managers cope with and can have a big influence on motivation) and a few more corporate speakers / examples (beyond Menlo, people not from US don't really know much about this company) Overall a course I would surely recommend to all people in my team Informacion muy practica y basada en estudios cientificos muy interesantes Really great insights and techniques!

It helped to develop my creative skills, analysing skills, listening skills and helped to develop my knowledge I really liked this course.
