Your team is vital to the success of your practice. Working in a positive atmosphere is sure to keep every member motivated for long-term success. The opposite is also true. If you have noticed your team’s synergy slipping, it may stem from a lack of communication. Here are three proven ways to boost your team’s morale and work ethic.

Know your work style

To lead a successful team, you must be aware of how you work as a leader. Understanding your leadership techniques and styles will help you tailor your techniques to your team’s needs. Don’t be afraid to be critical of yourself and continue to look for new ways to improve.

Get to Know Your Team

Get to know your team members on a more personal level (while always keeping things professional). Learn their strengths and growth areas and understand what they expect out of you as a leader. This will make them feel heard and feel invested in one another, you, and the practice as a whole. It also helps to define roles and responsibilities clearly.

Delegate According to Strength

When you get to know your team members as individuals, you will have a better understanding of how to delegate tasks. This gives you the opportunity to clearly define each member’s roles and responsibilities around the office. Giving a clear vision to each member will allow them to make strides in their respective areas.

Give Constructive Feedback

Employees like to know how they are doing on the job. Remember to give them plenty of feedback on where they excel and how they can improve. Be tactful in making corrections, tailor your feedback to how they best receive it, and always be conscious of celebrating their successes.

Leaders are only as successful as their teams. Appreciate who they are as individuals and you will appreciate what they do as employees. They will respect and appreciate you on a personal and professional level, too, if you play to their strengths and deliver feedback in an affirming way.
