In the same line, you can also ask the team members what they really liked about previous projects, and see how you can incorporate them in your current way of working. Very powerful indeed.

While discussing these projects i emphasize on the effort they put in, and the results they had. If the present task, at hand, is more strenuous, i encourage them to test their skills and effiency to a higher level of expectancy. " we know what we've done. we know what we're doing. But what matters is what we're about to do!" "Friendly competition" never hurt anyone neither. Lets face it! everyone wants to be better than the next person. Treating a team of employees like a team of NBA players could have positive results. let them know who the competition is, and how ahead of them they are. This developes a feeling of obligation as well as entitlement to the success of the team's overall goal. It also reduces the amount of competitiveness amongst the inner-circle, and creates an "us against them" mentality.

The project manager is suppossed to identify these personal goals and aim at making the team members achieve these personal goals. It is only after team members start seeing the realisation of personal goals that the team members shall produce the project goals effectively and efficiently.

In an e-mail exchange with Bas de Baar I understood the world mean as unkind when he meant it as denoting or implying. I have been asking myself over the last two days had I not been corrected quickly by Bas what this misunderstading could have resulted in. How a small misundertanding could branch out into different relationships. A small misunderstanding could motivate a person to take a totally different course than if this small misundertanding did not occur. We talk about motivation in a linear fashion: give more incentives and you shall end up in having more productivity. But beware of the Butterfly Effect that could send people into completely different directions. What prompted me to write this comment is what Satin wrote in the previous comment that he was a lucky winner of a draw. Modesty that triggered rippling feelings of respect for a person that I have never met before. I want to share with you a misunderstanding that might have lead to a ripple of motivational effects.

I guess all the entries are winner entries and my name came up in the lucky draw. cheers :) satish Hi all ,
