Course Catalog Professional Dev. Synopsis Motivation is one of the most misunderstood techniques a manager or supervisor can master.
Motivation has less to do with being a cheerleader and more to do with meeting employee needs.
This course will provide supervisors with an understanding of what motivation is and techniques they can use to create an environment in which their employees become motivated to perform at the highest level. This course will look at the theory of motivation from Abraham Maslow to David McClelland. More importantly, it will provide supervisors with techniques and skills they can use every day to help employees become motivated to do their very best. It will help managers tailor a plan to motivate an individual employee or an entire work-group. While it is not a requirement for this course, it is suggested that supervisors take the Introduction to Supervision course first.
