How to Get Out of Your Own Way and Achieve Success
What stands between you and success?

Leadercamp on-demand: Motivation
Leadership is a very broad topic, so how do you know how to be the most effective leader? There are several key areas that great leaders focus on to ensure they communicate the vision, motivate and manage their people, and get the job done right. You cannot motivate someone. People choose whether or not they want to be motivated to do something. But you can certainly demotivate people. We'll talk about what people need to be motivated so you can create a motivating environment for your staff. Also, we'll talk about how motivation is situational and how you can develop a plan to work with employees on their motivation. In this fifth and final Leadercamp in the Active Leadership series, PMP and Managing Partner at Lemmex Williams Training, Merri Lemmex will touch on the highlights of being a great leader.
