(upbeat music) Welcome to Motivation Begins With Buy-In. In these lessons, you'll learn what buy-in is, how to obtain your employees buy-in for their work, and how buy-in is directly related to motivation. One of the most common issues you'll face in management is motivating your employees. How do you engage them and keep them engaged? How do you raise their level of interest in the company and their performance? One of the most important things you can do is create reasons and opportunities for your employees to buy in. As a leader, your company has probably outlined the goals for you and your team to follow. Your next step is to take those goals and explain to each team member how executing those goals will benefit them. This is what buy-in means. Getting each member of your team to agree on and support the goals that have been set for them. To obtain by in from your employees, find ways to show them that their willing acceptance, active support and participation in company goals is important. In our constantly evolving world, it can be difficult for employees to keep up. It's in your best interest and the best interest of the organization to find ways to incorporate your team into work processes as often as possible. Utilize the powers of cooperation and recognition and remind your team that they're integral to the company's vision and mission. If they resist, embrace their resistance. This may seem counterintuitive but resistors can identify weaknesses in the current plan and be converted to supporters if their concerns are addressed seriously and thoughtfully. Your management of initiative rollouts and policy changes will have a direct effect on how successfully your team will navigate these changes. Many people will appreciate your efforts to include them and make their daily tasks less burdensome. This will likely be reflected in their productivity and general attitude toward the organization. Your own success is measured in your team's success. To manage your team as effectively as possible, it's important to understand their individual motivations and to find the best ways to align those motivations with the company's goals. When you connect the company's goals with your team's individual motivations and create the strongest buy-in you can, you make yourself and your team valuable to your company. Because you're creating buy-in, you reduce obstacles to completing the company's goals.
