Do you usually make your team members self-aware of the impact of their work in the result of the project? and How do you do it?

Team engagement is critical in the growth of the company and from my perspective making team members aware of the impact of their work is vital.

i am in agreement with you, after working as Project Manager for more than 12 years from last 4 years i run my own organization and i can appreciate this more now. How part for me is still trial and error. I am not claiming i know how to do it yet. What is working for me is having a process of Goal alignment at frequency and letting team members find out how they achieve these goals. We do monthly goal setting and review in the beginning of the month and for rest of the month team members are left free to implement the goals. This is something working well as of now.

Yes, its very important for the project success that the project team being aware of the impact of their work in the results of the project. I think it's a an organizational culture and the management style of the project manager which determines the ways to do it.

Of course it is very important to do so ... I personally do this during team meetings or during performance reviews.

Hi David: This is a great question and very important because I have seen many leaders who miss opportunities to build their teams. Inspired teams = project success. I really like what Saket, Alaa and Rami have stated above. Team inspiration and engagement happens when team members believe they have the ability to contribute, when they have the sense of belonging to the greater good - that their input has purpose and value. Rami is right that this validation needs to occur often, in meetings and during performance reviews for sure. I try to write e-mails of appreciation as well. We have a program in our company called CHEERS FOR PEERS and I try to recognize team members often. In my choice of words, I try to find opportunities to build my team as often as possible.

I agree with you David.

Senior management will roll out organizational goals. These will be discussed with team at the time of goal setting, along with project goals.
