Mistakes to avoid so as not to demotivate your teams

Training Theme

This training addresses the managerial mistakes that demotivate teams and proposes concrete solutions to avoid them. It highlights three toxic attitudes: treating employees as mere work instruments, adopting a paternalistic/maternalistic posture, or considering them as incapable of understanding and contributing. Through instructional videos, quizzes and practical exercises, managers learn how to create an environment conducive to motivation by developing an adult-adult relationship, sharing information and giving responsibility. The training also includes advice on how to manage one's own demotivation.
