Leadership Skills Worksheet: Motivating a Team
Leader's tip (Praise, thank, be fair): Motivating: praising effort, sharing the goal, celebrating small wins, thanking each member, showing the progress, cheering after a loss. Demotivating: shouting at mistakes, taking all the praise, comparing members, ignoring hard work, having favourites. Fair: jobs rotate, everyone gets a turn, the same rule for friends too. Unfair: friends get the easy jobs, the captain always bats first.
