Was sind effektive Möglichkeiten, um die Motivation der Partner für gemeinsame Ziele zu fördern?

Firstly, establish clear and achievable goals that align with the interests and aspirations of all partners involved. Offer financial incentives such as profit-sharing arrangements, bonuses, or equity stakes based on the achievement of milestones or performance metrics. Additionally, provide recognition and praise for individual contributions and achievements, fostering a sense of accomplishment and value within the partnership. Foster a collaborative and supportive environment where partners feel empowered to share ideas, take ownership of their responsibilities, and contribute to the collective success of the venture.

When I need to align expectations with partners, I prefer to user the SMART method - I make sure that our mutual goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound. If you focus on these core pillars when communicating with your client, you make sure you are clear, concise, and most importantly - professional.

Feedbacking culture is frequently underestimatet, although, it is one of the most powerful and useful tools for collaboration improvements. It is important to ask for/provide feedbacks as frequently as possible. Feedbacking culture is boosting the mutual relationship, it is an important motivation factor and ignites proactive approach. Thefefore, may you seek a deeper engagement of your partner, make sure that an intense feedbacking culture is settled.

From my past experience working with clients, but also as a commander in the army, I like to use the "sandwich method" - First start with a positive feedback, next move to your constructive criticism, and close with another positive and motivational feedback that boosts the partner's engagement for your future work together.

In my perception, you first must identify what makes your partner "tick" - is he more susceptible towards financial incentivization methods, or do non-financial incentives motivate him better. Do take note - sometimes over-incentivizing on the aspect you identified is more important could lead to a "deterioration" in motivation. Switch between the two if you notice that one is becoming less motivating.

He? That says a lot...
