Hi!
For the above qyestion, I can only seem to find 3 techniques in the book:
Hersey and Blanchard’s Situational Leadership Model
Hertzberg’s Motivation Hygiene Theory
Maslow’s Heirarchy of Needs Model
What are the other two??
Thanks,

Hi
If I were answering this kind of question I would personally make 5 points as the following, expanding each of the sub points into 1 or more sentences :
1. Negative (Primary) Motivators
a) Herzbergs – Hygiene Factors
b) explain how they will increase motivation to an extent
c) Explain these are Security, Money, Status. Some examples;
d) possibly explain why resolve negative motivators 1st, then address positive motivators,
2. Positive (Secondary) Motivators
a) Hertzbergs motivators
b) what these will overcome
c) Examples – Achievement, responsibility, Challenges
3. Leaderships Qualities
a) Positive outlook;
b) promote vision and direction
c) Delegation to the team and empowerment
4. Planning and Involvement
a) Get team involved in planning; team building events; celebratory;
b) Set targets and incentives; people need goals and objectives;
c) Allocate tasks and ownership; Belonging;
5. Communication
a) Communication – keep team in the loop; relate decisions
b) Feedback – what they’re doing good and not so good;
c) Listen and react to what you’re being told from your team
Hope that helps???
n.b. I didn’t mention Maslow as I’ve only tried to memorise Herzberg. I guess this kind of question would also be looking for something other than just Motivational theory, hence points 3-5; this is what would motivate me.
Now I guess another similar question would be :
“Explain 5 ways in which a PM can improve Moral on the team?”. Would that have a similar answer??
