One quick, easy and fail proof method of instant motivation is letting your team know how much they are valued. Show them appreciation; offer them praise on the things they've accomplished; remind them of their successes and inspire them to achieve even greater ones by showing them that you believe they can ... and will through hard work and dedication.

He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha cum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!” And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about..."
