Course Description

If you want to lead a self-managing and highly motivated team, this course if for you. It is intentionally short and to the point.

The instructor has authored ten books on management, leadership and motivation and has consulted with major corporations for more than forty years. This short courses distills the most critical lessons needed to motivate your team members.

A high performing team is highly self-managed and self-motivated. But, it is the manager who creates the conditions, the encouragement and provides the coaching that brings the team to this point of self-management. Creating a sense of worthy purpose is essential, as well as a team dynamic that creates bonds that unite the team and brings out their most positive energy. Caring and psychological safety have proven critical. You will learn how to build this sense of purpose, and create the social system that unites team members. 

You will also learn how to deal with negative behavior in the most positive way possible. 

In this course you will learn the following: 

  • Identify Sources of Motivation that will motivate all team members.
  • How to use both Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation
  • How you can optimize Social Reinforcement from the team itself.
  • How to develop a system of motivation in the organizaton. 
  • How to analyze behavior and its influences using the ABC Model of Managing Behavior.
  • How to use reinforcement schedules
  • How to distinguish the difference between performance problems that require new skills versus motivation.

Why learn from me? I have helped almost one hundred companies develop systems of teamwork and motivation over the past forty years. These companies include Honda, Toyota, Shell Oil Company, Merck, American Express, 3M and many more. I have been hands-on in manufacturing, healthcare and technology companies.

It resulted in measurable improvements in behavior. This was his first organizational transformation.

For the longest period I have been struggling to keep my team motivated as we work in a physically demanding environment. I know manage to keep the team motivated through the things I learnt in this course.

By Michael Steward on 10/3/2025

Very nice points, short videos to pause and come back to. Theme music was overwhelming though. Sometimes it was hard to hear because of it and then I hear it so much it got very tiring.

By Scott Yerbic on 9/8/2025

Overall, great talking points that can be used in a team leader position. Instructor presents his material well and is easy to follow. I recommend this course and will look at his other courses to take soon.

So much great information on how to motivate employees and/or peers. Mr. Miller is an excellent presenter - very down to earth and adding his experiences to the course makes it easy to understand. The biggest takeaway for me: "Treat them well, respect them well".

By Douglas Melo on 8/30/2022

The mission to lead is not easy. So, do not forget to motivate yourself before, during, and after your challenge to keep your team top performing by encouraging them too. This course is a fantastic asset in that journey! Thanks for sharing such a piece of good information.

By Anonymized User on 6/14/2022

The methodologies and ideas are very good we can compare with out daily interactions with the team and we can implement all these ideas. Thanks for the clear and detailed information on the motivation

By Anonymized User on 3/6/2021

Not a lot of new material for me. Just a nit, but the bumpers were too long and the music got very old, very quickly - the same tune at the end of one section and at the beginning of the next section.

By Farzeen Khan on 11/15/2020

Very interesting course with direct wisdom. Thank you for sharing all the information.

By Jenn Looper on 11/8/2020

Some of the editing can be improved and watch the overlap btw background music and the speakers dialogue

By Stephen Orzell on 11/8/2020
