Leadership Challenge #1: Motivating During Change

In the last year, your organization has laid off dozens of employees as part of a cost-cutting initiative; more layoffs may occur in the next year. You lead a team of six employees, and although they have all survived the first round of layoffs, you sense that they are uncertain about their roles and the organization’s future. You know that it will be critical for the team to continue to perform at a high level in the next year – for the sake of your department and your team’s job security. How will you keep these employees motivated during this time of uncertainty?

Find 3 sources and summaries each of them based on Motivating During Change

Use APA FORMAT

Each member is responsible for finding at least one source from List A and at least one source from List B to help your team analyze the challenge and develop solutions.
