A major characteristic of being an effective leader is to successfully motivate your team in a time of change. Three ways to motivate your team is to set attainable goals, providing praise for accomplishments, and creating an employee incentive program (Indeed, 2023). A pro for setting attainable goals would be to motivate the people to achieve that goals. A con would be the feeling of "moving the goalposts" by continuously creating new goals after achieving the old ones. A pro for providing praise for the accomplishments would be having a healthy environment, and when there is a healthy environment its easier to get things accomplished at work. A con to that would be if they do not accomplish things and they get no positive praise. A pro for creating an employee incentive program would be to motivate the team to achieve more for the employees to get their incentive. A con to this might be more expensive for your department
