Mel Feller Looks at the Power of Motivation in Your Business The importance of motivation is often under-estimated and I, Mel Feller, would also endeavor to say that it's the least understood knowledge area among people who hold dynamic leadership roles within an business. Being proficient at motivating your employees will be a measure of your success as a leader. From my perspective, this is one key performance indicator (KPI) that should be on any leader's dashboard! Before we, as leaders, learn how to motivate employees, it is important to take some time to understand why we need to our motivate employees! Why, because when we understand the why of something, we are in a better position to clarify the how, which increases our chances to actually inspire our employees. Therefore, accepting why you need to learn about employee motivation will naturally increase your motivational skills.
