This part of the manual discusses leaders as motivators. Knowing your leadership style could therefore help you identify your abilities to be a good motivator. Managers are charged with leadership, supervisory, and training responsibilities in all aspects of the work environment. Whether your style is task-oriented or relationship-oriented, the task of motivating employees is the most important part of your job. First, let's identify what most leadership styles are based on. They are based on a person's views, values, past leadership experiences, learning abilities, and cultural environment. However, in order to achieve the organization's goals and motivate employees, the leader must remember some key factors of motivation: 7.1 Motivating Approaches Develop approaches to motivate your employees and communicate the task. Employees can see when you are passionate and when your passion comes through in explaining the mission, they will understand the purpose. Additionally, understanding the objective will help connect each phase of the task. Establish and communicate to everyone that they are very important to the task assigned to them. [Note: Remember that not all employees will be motivated in the same way, so knowing your team can help.]7.2 Work Environment FrameworkCreate an environment in which people will take pride in their jobs.
