La moral de la tripulación se está resintiendo debido a los ajustados plazos. ¿Cómo puedes mantener a tu equipo motivado y productivo?

To keep your team motivated and productive despite tight deadlines, focus on clear communication, recognize and reward efforts, foster a positive work environment, and provide necessary resources. Empower your team by delegating effectively and seeking feedback, manage workloads by prioritizing tasks, and lead by example with a positive attitude. Encourage work-life balance, celebrate milestones, and provide emotional support to ensure everyone feels valued and supported. These steps will help maintain morale and keep the team energised and productive.

Keeping your team motivated and productive under tight deadlines involves several key strategies. First, maintain open and positive communication, acknowledging the hard work and dedication of your crew. Offer encouragement and regularly express gratitude for their efforts. Break down tasks into manageable steps and set clear, achievable goals to help the team stay focused and feel a sense of progress. Provide necessary resources and support to make their work easier. Foster a collaborative environment where team members can share ideas and support each other. Implement regular check-ins to address concerns and offer assistance promptly. Encourage short breaks to prevent burnout and maintain energy levels.

Trust begins with the truth. Approach all interactions as candidly as possible and make space for productive dissent. Listen authentically and without judgment. Be ready to change your mind if information is shared that would reasonably lead to that. Remember that, when facing difficult circumstances, it should always be “us against the problem” and never “us against each other.” Positive sum games consistently yield better results than negative sum ones and production is a team sport. Respect the people with whom you work enough to tell them the truth, ask them for their help is addressing the challenges you face together, and act on their advice when advisable and where applicable.

Nunca recortes en comodidades para el equipo técnico. Intentando lograr una temperatura confortable en las localizaciones y que disponga de diversas zonas donde almacenar el equipamiento técnico de cámara, iluminación, arte, sonido, etc. Alguna sala adecuada para maquillaje, vestuario y ensayos con los actores. Comida de calidad para el equipo, que no tiene por qué ser cara. Buscando por ejemplo un sitio de catering donde nos preparen platos para llevar. Si estamos en una localización donde hace frío, dar al equipo un tentempié caliente a media jornada; y si el set es muy cálido, tener siempre a mano bebidas frías. Tener al equipo contento en el sentido de comida y confort no tiene por qué costar mucho.
