<span style="font-weight: 400;">A good way to keep them motivated is by relating with them as real humans instead of hollering robotic commands. Also, be aware that your remote team members are prone to individual challenges. So try to show support- including help with systems, procedure, and processes- where you can, to help them sail through. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Showing appreciation for a good job delivery boosts their sense of self-fulfillment. Also, letting them make their own decision can boost their interest in the job. Lastly, people crave status, respect, and positions, so satisfy those cravings to keep them up. To do this, delegate more responsibilities, reward efforts with incentives, and design regular promotion methods. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">As much as having certain goals and objectives is important, informing team members about them is more important. Some leaders fall into the trap of keeping the goals to themselves while they delegate individual tasks to team members. This usually leads to situations where individual members take different approaches towards different goals, resulting in the stagnation of the entire team due to a lack of proper collaboration.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">To achieve this, make sure the goal is clear enough. In addition to this, they must be realistic, measurable, and achievable. Then give each member a platform to recommend ways to reach these set goals. That way, they get a better and broader understanding of what is required to get the job done. In addition to the active involvement in the decision-making process, they tend to see the project as 'personal.'</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, it is in your position as the leader to make team members aware of their role and its importance. That way, they give members an idea of the big picture and how they individually fit in.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Leaders who promote a virtual open-door strategy make room for honest dialogue.

Also, optimism among your remote team members as they are prone to the anxiety of what's in the future for them. Staying positive yet truthful can help team members stay confident in their abilities.</span>
