I’m often asked: “How can I motivate my people?” I get the impression some supervisors think this is a difficult thing to do or they feel there must be some secret to it they are unaware of. Some think it takes money. While a raise can definitely motivate people, it’s usually short-lived. There are many other simple things we can do each day to create an environment that will allow our people to motivate themselves. Here are a few tips.
Why I Volunteer
October 3, 2011
Volunteering for a cause or organization that you believe in can be one of the most rewarding and fun things in life. My first volunteer “opportunity” came when an organization approached my boss looking for help. It wasn’t going to work for her to help so she asked me if I would be willing to give up a few lunch hours and join the group. I have trouble saying no, plus it sounded interesting so I agreed. The group was planning a brand new annual event involving many worthwhile organizations in the community. While I was only a small part of the event’s success, I’m proud to say that the event marked it’s 13th anniversary earlier this month.
