Positive reinforcement will always be a mainstay in my managerial approach to motivating my team members.

Inclusion will aid the team in gaining a sense of belonging. I genuinely feel that this sense of belonging will give the team, especially Jonathan, a boost in pride and quality of work performed knowing that they are appreciated for their contributions to the project.
