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.
