ABOUT THE MQ EXECUTIVE DIPLOMA Are There Different Types of Motivational Leadership? Motivation is the fuel that drives the accomplishment of a goal; without any motivation, the goal becomes another difficult task. Motivational leadership means understanding that regardless of whether you’re leading a small group or an entire business, your leadership and motivational style can significantly impact the effectiveness of your effort. There are several leadership and motivation styles, but the challenge comes with finding the most appropriate for you and your team. In our leadership development program, we’ll discuss leadership motivational skills while working with you to find the best one. Motivational leadership either takes the form of intrinsic or extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation motivates your team to be rewarded internally, and extrinsic motivation uses compensation as a driving force. Compensation can be salary, bonuses, goods, money, or even an appraisal. Here are some examples of different intrinsic and extrinsic motivational types: Competence Motivation – This style is driven by curiosity and a willingness to know more and cultivate additional skills. This style’s central pillar is building more expertise on a subject matter as a noncompetition among peers. Achievement Motivation – Achievement motivation is similar to competence, as it aims to achieve personal development goals. This could take the form of a title within the company. An example could be in your sales department, where a leaderboard or wall of fame is used to track sales. Reward-Based Motivation – This is probably the only motivational type most are aware of, as it’s the easiest way to get a fast motivational boost. The main issue with this type of motivation is that employees get used to it, and the effects don’t last long. Understand the Importance of Motivation Skills in Leadership Motivation drives nearly every action of our lives. Motivational leadership drives the why behind every business idea that’s ever been put into action. As a leader or manager, you must understand the importance of motivating team members, and being able to do this effectively is a requirement in every manager, leader, or business owner’s toolkit. Our management development program builds on best practices, strategic insights, and lessons learned over three decades of building leadership universities for Fortune 500 companies. Focusing on imparting fundamental skills to our executive development course offers powerful insights into the human side of the business. You’ll gain the skills needed to foster a growth mindset within your team. Here are some additional reasons why motivational leadership matters: Improved Performance – Motivated employees can drive the performance of your business. When your employees are motivated, you’ll find lower levels of absenteeism, improved relationships between managers and employees, and improved worker performance throughout your business. Enhanced Innovation – Motivation is a significant force behind innovative ideas. You’re more likely to identify workplace improvement opportunities when your team is motivated. Improved Workplace Culture – Employee motivation and your workplace culture are closely linked. When you take our leadership development program, you’ll discover that a motivated workforce brings commitment, and drive, which enhances your business’s overall morale and creates a positive work culture. Register your interest Motivational Leadership Techniques That Foster Engagement When employees are unmotivated or disengaged, it’s easy to blame tools, processes, or contributing factors. Often, disengagement comes down to a lack of effective leadership. Our leadership training program will help you unlock what leaders need to inspire their employees to do their job and find purpose within their roles. Here are some ways you can apply what you learned during your leadership development program to encourage collaborative leadership and inspire your team to do their very best work: Employees Trust Leaders Whom Both Lead and Follow – Good leaders don’t needlessly exhibit authoritative behaviour. Good leaders show their team that they are willing to roll up their sleeves and work with their team to improve the business. Passion and Positivity Increase Employee Performance – Effective motivational leadership combines finding meaning in work, leveraging connection and community, converting stress into opportunity, taking actions despite the risk, and lastly, maintaining the energy of others through motivation. Show enthusiasm in your business, which will convey your passion to others and can help increase performance and employee engagement. Effective Leadership Prioritizes Business – Successful leaders are more about short-term goals than reaching the next milestone and contributing to your overall business. Practical leadership qualities include providing growth opportunities, inspiring and motivating employees, being open and trusting, and assessing and managing risks. These decisions lead to more long-term success for your business.
