Motivation in a Postive Way

As the leader of the group I feel it is extremely important to motivate the team. So far I have been complimenting the team when ever I get a chance. I try to consistently acknowledge what they have been contributing to the project. Simple things such as showing up to scheduled meetings or expressing an idea are important to take into account. Little gestures such as these can help bring the team up as a whole and encourage participation. When you are doing so much all the time and don't really notice the differences, it is a good feeling to hear from someone else that you are doing good. It helps bring a positive confirmation on your part.
