Successful teams are highly dependent on the motivation of their leaders, and that applies in all areas, from sports, family, education, labor, etc.. I refer to the latter, because it is what sticks me professionally. Studies indicate that employees feel valued and are interested in occupying positions of responsibility, rather than a raise.

Those in charge of a team are responsible for meeting the goals and challenges of the company, in the same way that should encourage their employees to perform their functions efficiently and effectively. Authoritarian leadership styles are ‘Out’, because they generate resentment, dissatisfaction and demotivation. Instead empathetic leaders are able to convey optimism and confidence to a working group committed to the needs of the company, because they feel part of the institutional challenges.

Internal Marketing is the index to keep loyal to employees through satisfaction of mutual needs and feedback. It is as easy as making constant feedback surveys to identify workers and try to solve in the short time. The sales area is usually the most stressful, because it works on the basis of achievement of goals, within a fixed time and under certain requirements. To the extent that companies listen to the needs of your employees and give them a solution, will be rewarded with increased production due to the synergy produced by teamwork and retention of their workforce, resulting in lower costs of training.

Although this seems logical super strange thing is the small number of companies using internal marketing to motivate their workers. Because for that, will only be required as a social responsibility policy aimed at encouraging, respecting and valuing people does not necessarily require an ‘extra expense’. For example, it is important to know and respect differences of opinion that may exist within a group, because on the other hand, there is nothing worse than feeling a ‘number again.’ Employers often are so concerned about the operational results that they forget that these results produce workers who are people, who along with receiving responsibilities, requiring stimuli to feel satisfied in their positions and functions.

And to know you have to learn to listen, if we listen to the suggestions of a computer is easier to satisfy in the medium term. If this happens, it is generating a climate of distrust. To avoid this, it is important to design instances to communicate the concerns in an atmosphere of mutual respect. So, to achieve optimal working environment is to adopt a conciliatory leadership style, where instead of giving orders must be requested, meet our team , respect their feelings and decisions, motivate through a close and sympathetic attitude. In this way, we can expect conflict situations, and create a pleasant work environment based on respect and motivation, where workers produce more, because they feel considered and not just a number more.
