What Really Motivates Technical (And Non-Technical) Teams

What’s the difference between a leader and a manager?

It’s simple. Managers manage, and leaders inspire — and when you want to get the most from your team, you’ll need to do both. But how?

Keeping people motivated and inspired is tricky. Different teams require different approaches, and you’ll need to connect with each of your team members to figure out what really gets them going.

Still, there are a few general best practices that you can apply to get the ball rolling. Below we’ve consolidated our top 3:

1. Training and growth opportunities

Research shows that training and development opportunities really pay off with technical teams — providing them boosts in motivation, engagement, and even retention. According to 2024 Skillsoft IT Skills & Salary Report, 48% of respondents claim training makes them more engaged in their work. Those employers who upskill or reskill from within their organization are also seeing positive benefits: team morale is improved (60%), greater innovation (55%), and improved talent retention and customer satisfaction (49%), to name just a few. 

It makes sense. New tools and updates come out every day, and developers need continuing education to keep their skills sharp and progress in their careers.

Not sure how to make this a reality? Consider investing in resources like Codecademy Teams that’ll let your team dive deep into their preferred programming languages and libraries and their various functions. There are also offerings that enable easy training management by allowing you to customize your team’s curriculum and assign content to individuals and groups to ensure they’re learning the right skills.

But there’s more to professional development than technical training. Soft skills like leadership, presentation, and effective communication are just as essential. Check out our catalog of professional skills courses to get better at communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and leadership.

Try encouraging your team to find opportunities to practice their soft skills. Internally, this could look like lightning talks or brown bags. Externally, the programming community is always rife with opportunities to share new knowledge.

Professional events and conferences are a great way to hone soft skills, and contributing to one will also help the people on your team develop their personal brands. Plus, if your company offers stipends for professional development, they can be used to cover the cost of attendance.

2. Purpose and recognition

Another way to get your team excited about what they’re doing is to make sure they understand the purpose.

The first step? Be transparent. How well does your team understand your decision-making process? When communicating objectives, are you explaining the logic behind them or just disseminating information from the top down?

Then, try connecting each of your team members’ work to real, positive outcomes. Show them that they’re making a difference and that their work has value beyond profits and revenue.

On that note, you’ll also want to make sure they feel appropriately challenged with their day-to-day work. As your team progresses through their technical training, give them new and exciting projects that put their skills to good use. Repetitive tasks can be tedious, and people might explore other options if they feel undervalued or underutilized.

Even so, that doesn’t mean you should drop all of your most challenging projects in one person’s lap. Balance people’s workloads so they’re easy enough to grasp but challenging enough to put their skills to the test. Bonus points if you include enough time for passion projects — more on that below.

Public recognition also goes a long way toward keeping teams motivated. If you haven’t already, consider adding an extra 10 minutes to your weekly meetings to shout out individual and team accomplishments. Not only will this help them feel appreciated, but it might also inspire their teammates. Who doesn’t want a pat on the back for a job well done?

3. Autonomy and creativity

Studies show that autonomy can be quite the motivating factor. Giving your team a little ownership over their work can lead to improvements in everything from performance to job satisfaction. But what does autonomy actually look like?

In truth, it takes many forms. Remote and hybrid work have skyrocketed over the past two years, and giving your team the option to work from home can help boost engagement and productivity.

You can also try giving your team a little freedom. Showcase your trust in their capabilities and judgment.

On a small level, this might involve allowing them to take on any interesting tasks in the backlog between bigger projects. On a larger scale, you could give them more flexibility in their work. Instead of delegating each step of every project, try explaining its objectives and criteria and see what they come up with. Not only will this help give them more ownership over their work, but it’ll also give them the chance to innovate and be creative.

Creativity is another key to keeping your team motivated. People aren’t machines. Give them a little room to play.

This could include ensuring everyone has enough time for passion projects — projects that, while less essential for organizational objectives, are fun and exciting for your team. Or, you could even host a hackathon.

Fostering creativity in the workplace is an excellent motivator, and studies show that it can improve your team’s problem-solving ability and collaboration skills.

A little inspiration goes a long way

These tips will come in handy the next time you’re trying to find a way to inspire your team, but as we said earlier, different approaches work for different people.

If you really want to light a fire under your team, connect with each member and identify their motivations, goals, and interests. You’ll have enough information to develop a more cohesive approach afterward, but just having the conversation is a great first step.

Lesson Plan: Trump’s Tariffs

Lesson Plan: Trump’s Tariffs

Trade policy and tariffs are complicated. And the way our system of global trade works is also complicated — and imperfect. Democrats don’t always agree with one another, and neither do Republicans. And even within the Trump administration, different advisers have different opinions.

Mr. Trump’s aggressive use — or threats — of tariffs in the first weeks of his second term raises important, complex policy questions. Choose one or more of the following questions to research and then answer and discuss:

  • Should the United States and the world be moving closer to free trade or away from it? Why?

  • Should the United States increase tariffs to protect its own industries and to match the tariffs that other countries impose on the United States? Or should it work to try to lower trade barriers?

  • Should the United States treat longstanding allies, like Canada, Mexico and Europe, with the same approach as adversarial nations, like China and Russia?

  • Should the United States use the threat of tariffs to pressure other countries on issues unrelated to trade — the way Mr. Trump recently did when he threatened Colombia with a 50 percent tariff because of immigration policy?

The New York Times has been covering the issue of tariffs extensively in its news and Opinion sections. Here are some pieces that address the questions above. You can find more relevant coverage in The Times here.

Opinion | “Trump Isn’t the Only One to Blame for the Tariff Mess”
By Mary E. Lovely, an economist and expert on trade

What Mr. Trump is doing with tariffs is a result of a lost consensus about how the United States should interact with other countries in the global economy. He is stepping into that vacuum, filling it with the unrestrained and autocratic use of import taxes, moves that appear to be based on whim rather than on U.S. trade law. Arbitrary trade policy of this kind reduces American influence abroad; harms working Americans, who often ultimately pay these import taxes; and makes the U.S. manufacturing sector less attractive to investors.

Opinion | “Retaliation Against Canada Won’t Work This Time”
By Chrystia Freeland, a member of the Canadian Parliament

A 25 percent tariff on Canadian aluminum is an act of self-harm — economic self-mutilation — by the United States.

Opinion | “Want Free Trade? May I Introduce You to the Tariff.”
By Robert E. Lighthizer, the U.S. trade representative in the first Trump administration

The international trading system has failed America and many other countries around the world. No one has done more than President Trump to bring attention to this broad failure.

Opinion | “Who Pays Tariffs? And How Do We Know?”
By Paul Krugman, a New York Times Opinion columnist

So who would pay the tariffs that Trump will almost surely impose if he wins? Not China or foreigners in general. Everything says that the burden would fall on Americans, mainly the working class and the poor.

The Daily | “A Conversation With the Architect of Trump’s New Trade War”
A conversation with Peter Navarro, a senior White House adviser

During less than a month in office, President Trump has pursued more trade actions against adversaries and allies than all the trade measures he took in his entire first four-year term. There is one man guiding it all: his trade adviser Peter Navarro.

Ana Swanson, who covers trade and international economics for The Times, explains why Mr. Navarro thinks tariffs will usher in a new age of American prosperity.

News Analysis | “How Trump’s One-for-One Tariff Plan Threatens the Global Economy”
By Peter S. Goodman, New York Times reporter covering the global economy

The world economy was already grappling with a perplexing assortment of variables, from geopolitical conflicts and a slowdown in China to the evolving complexities of climate change. Then, President Trump unleashed a plan to uproot decades of trade policy.

In starting a process to impose so-called reciprocal tariffs on American trading partners, Mr. Trump increased volatility for international businesses. He broadened the scope of his unfolding trade war.

5. This lesson plan was published in late February 2025. What developments have there been with the Trump administration’s tariff policy since then?

What Would You Try to Save From Your Home in a Disaster?

What Would You Try to Save From Your Home in a Disaster?

Imagine you suddenly have to flee your house and must make split-second decisions about what to save. What would you take and why? A framed photo? A family heirloom? A favorite souvenir, memento or trophy? A religious object? Some jewelry? Clothes? Your phone or computer?

For many people who survived the recent fires in Southern California, this was not a hypothetical question, but a painful reality.

In “What They Took,” New York Times editors share six stories from survivors of the Palisades and Eaton fires about what items they rescued from their homes and why they matter. Here is one of those stories — about Clarence Wright of Altadena, Calif., written by Ronda Kaysen:

After Clarence Wright fled his Altadena home and learned that it had been destroyed, he mourned the poems he had lost.

In spiral-bound notebooks, he had chronicled the lives of his children, explored his political leanings and mused about romance, friendship or a stranger at the airport.

The only poems he had left, he thought, were in three copies of a collection that he self-published 20 years ago. He had long kept those in his car so that he could reread his work on trips to the beach or the mountains.

“I would like to remind myself of who I am and who I was and where I came from,” said Mr. Wright, 75, who lived in his three-bedroom house for 40 years, raising four of his children alone after his wife died at an early age.

But as the fog of crisis recently lifted, he remembered that his spiral-bound notebooks might have survived after all.

It turned out that they were in a backpack that he had grabbed in the frantic early morning evacuation. The backpack had been sitting in his trunk for weeks.

“I was relieved because I thought that everything that I’d ever done would not exist anymore,” he said.

For Mr. Wright, the fire and its aftermath have resurfaced painful memories of his time as a Marine in Vietnam. He is now working on a new poem to make sense of those feelings after his home and community were destroyed.

“It brings out sort of an anger,” he said. “But in order to control that anger, I put it in words.”

— Ronda Kaysen

Students, read the entire article and then tell us:

  • If your home were in danger and you could only save a few treasured possessions, what would they be?

  • What story do the objects tell about you?

  • What’s your reaction to the objects — and animals — saved by the families in the article? Which items — and the stories of their rescue — were most interesting, memorable or moving?

  • For some students, the following question may not be hypothetical: Have you ever faced a natural disaster like a fire, flood or tornado — or a human-made disaster like a war — when you had to abandon your home quickly? What was your experience? Were you able to save any meaningful items, like the people profiled in these six stories were able to do?

  • Does the article change how you think about your own possessions or the meaning of home? How so?

Word of the Day: mutability

The word mutability has appeared in 15 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Feb. 6 in “The World of Kendrick Lamar, in 6 Key Performances” by Niela Orr:

Lamar has scaled up those performances, becoming more elaborate as his platforms have grown in the 14 years since his recording debut. Dave Free, his primary creative partner and a collaborator on his visual presentations, has in the past attributed the rapper’s mutability to what he called the roller coaster effect: “You give people some type of variation, they can’t get used to you. They can’t put their finger on you. The more you keep people on their toes, the more interested they stay in you, for a longer period of time.” The zigzagging ride Free described is not unlike the sensory swerve of verse, especially Lamar’s quirky couplets.

Which Popular Phrases Annoy You?

Which Popular Phrases Annoy You?

“It’s all good.” “You’re perfect.”

The Opinion columnist Pamela Paul has grown to dislike these two upbeat expressions.

Do you hear them often in your everyday life? Do they bother you?

Are there any other common phrases you hear from your peers or parents or online that have started to annoy you? Why do you dislike them?

In the Opinion essay “It’s All Good, and You’re Perfect,” Ms. Paul writes about what she sees as “mindless optimism” in some of today’s common language. She begins:

Recently I’ve been told that I’m perfect, something I’m perfectly aware I’ve never been nor ever will be.

This generous assessment has come from strangers when I apologize for bumping into them and from the exceedingly cheerful salespeople at the store where my daughter shops for clothes. “No, you’re perfect!” they’ll insist when I explain the need to rest my Gen X weariness on the fitting room floor where a modest “No problem” would have sufficed.

The urge toward pronounced perfection is annoyingly catchy. Almost against my will, I now respond to emails with a knee-jerk “Perfect!” where I once would have said something more in line with the nevermind sensibility of my generation. “Sounds good,” for example, or “OK.”

Even our artificial intelligence exhorts us to greater heights of enthusiasm. To an email in which an acquaintance notes pleasantly, “It was nice seeing you last night,” Gmail suggests a more boisterous reply: “It was great to see you too!” or “So fun!” Our chatbots likewise communicate with endless effervescence, just as we have taught them to do(!).

When not being perfect, we are decidedly good. Should I so much as display a downbeat facial expression when fumbling a social nicety, the response is nothing short of impassioned: “No, you’re good!”

Being good is for everyone. We are all good now that “You’re all good” has replaced both the Commonwealth “No worries” and the American standard “That’s OK.” And it’s not always personal. Frequently, declarations of goodness come in the form of an expansive statement of general excellence: “It’s all good.”

But is it all good, really?

Students, read the entire essay and then tell us:

  • Are there popular phrases that people use today that annoy you? Tell us about one and why it bothers you.

  • What is your reaction to Ms. Paul’s essay? Do you agree with her that expressions like “It’s all good” and “You’re perfect” are too enthusiastic, and maybe even dishonest? Or do you find nothing wrong with this sort of positive language?

  • Ms. Paul suggests that these overly optimistic phrases may be a reaction to the negativity of social media, or even a way to convey emojis in the real world. To what extent do you think social media and the internet influence how you and your peers speak? Can you give an example?

  • Ms. Paul recalls the days in her life when “Sounds good” and “That’s OK” were acceptable responses. How do those phrases sound to you? What differences have you observed between the way your generation and those older or younger than you use language?

  • Are there expressions you and your peers use that you actually like? What are they, and why do you like them?

Goals

Have you ever reached an important goal, something you had to work toward for a long time?

If so, what was it? How did you accomplish it? And how did you feel after?

A recent article in the Well section is about how it’s normal to feel a little lost after an accomplishment. As the piece puts it, “Pursuing a goal can give you a sense of identity and purpose, so reaching the end can feel a bit like having the rug pulled out from under you, even if you are thrilled with the results.”

Can you relate to this feeling? What, if anything, did you do to recover?

Tell us in the comments, and then read the related article to learn more.

Word of the Day: charade

The word charade has appeared in 46 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Feb. 16 in “3 Parrots, 1 Shared Wall, 2 Ruptured Lives” by David Segal. The article describes how noise complaints in a Manhattan co-op led to a $750,000 legal settlement and shattered a friendship between Charlotte Kullen and Meril Lesser.

To Ms. Lesser, the noise crisis was a sinister charade, an attempt by Ms. Kullen, in collusion with others in the building, to get her evicted so Ms. Kullen could buy her home, knock down their shared wall and make one large apartment.

Can you correctly use the word charade in a sentence?
