Discussion Post: Motivating Behaviors
Part I
How can project risk management help improve project performance? What do you think are the most important factors to keep in mind and manage when managing risk? Some examples might be communication, schedule management, stakeholder management, etc. What will you be focusing on to manage the risks that you identify in your project?
Part II
Discuss how this assessment may be helpful for determining your readiness to lead and manage technical projects and compare your skills with team mates. How might it then guide you on a personal development plan? Cover how assessment and diagramming tools like these can be helpfully deployed on technical projects.
Part III
Pick a current, previous [or hypothetical] team of five people who have different motivators for success - describe how they are motivated, based on your observations or discussions with the individuals. How did you determine these motivating factors--what clues, statements, or behaviors were evident?
Prepare an announcement to the team, just prior to starting a technical project. Describe your approach to meeting each person's needs, as well as motivate the group as a whole. Include relevant examples from personal experiences. Include a communications plan, such as in a spreadsheet, that lists individuals, their traits, and suggested approaches.
It is important to ensure that team members or employees feel they have a good fit between themselves and their job, that they feel comfortable talking to their project manager or supervisor, that communications are clear, and that they are appropriately recognized for their performance or achievements.
To practice effective stakeholder management, what do or would you do to make sure that, regardless of individual job descriptions, the needs of your team members are being honored? Be specific about how you would set clear expectations, taking into account the different needs and personalities of team members.
