I would add to #7: Conduct a debrief on how the solutions worked in order to prevent a repeat situation (and perhaps generate new ideas such as the customer-free time block suggested above). The debrief should include feedback for senior leadership regarding missed planning opportunities like including your client so he could have advocated for better resourcing or at least cautioned about the team’s well-being. #8: Well-being may still need to be addressed after the optimally motivated push – consider throwing that team a party and/or offer merit time off when they get the thing out the door!

I completely agree with the fact that a true motivational leader must have the empathy skill. I also think a professional leader should be willing to lead by EXAMPLE – its a brilliant team building skill. Its worth trying out…result is you get better employees, better performers and less complainers in your team all focused on achieving the set goals/objectives.

We have had a couple of times where the team hasn’t been meeting their processing targets. Allowing the team to come up with suggestions, one of which was having a morning closed to customers, gave the manager the germ of an idea to introduce a much more structured way of dealing with customer contact. The result has been times are coming down.
You’re right, that approach is a much better answer than the “grit your teeth and do it for the company” approach.

It puts them in control of their future rather than blaming the organization for their unhappiness.

Thanks for the information.

I like your suggestions for the approach. It provides methods for direct communication and participation from the group. The best answer is the team’s answer. If they are high performers they will find a way to meet the targets and offset some of the hardships. Your suggestion gives the leader a way to facilitate it. Thanks for the ideas.
