15 Ways to Motivate Your Team

Motivating your team -- and even yourself -- can be an extremely troublesome task these days -- especially with the long list of distractions -- but these motivational talks offer some great tips.

The majority of these speakers focus on the ways leaders can not only motivate, but also inspire their team. These motivational talks carve a new role for the leader.

The speech by Bob Nelson explains how leaders need to find what inspires and drives their employees. He sees motivation as the best route and views manipulation -- punishing people for not completing things on time -- as an obstacle to achieving team and personal success.
