    When structural design changes happen on-site, keeping the team motivated starts with clear communication. I explain the reasons behind the changes, ensuring the team understands the bigger picture and how it benefits the project. Involving them in finding practical solutions fosters ownership and keeps morale high. Recognizing their efforts and celebrating progress, even small wins, helps maintain positivity and momentum. By promoting teamwork, acknowledging adaptability, and providing support, I ensure the team stays engaged and productive despite the challenges.

    - Be clear about why the shift is happening and how it impacts the project. Transparency helps reduce uncertainty and builds trust -Let the team know what the new priorities are, what has changed, and how these changes align with the overall goal.

    To keep your team motivated and productive during structural design changes on-site, focus on clear communication, support, and engagement. First, hold a meeting to explain the changes, emphasizing their importance and how they contribute to the project's success. Encourage team input, fostering a sense of ownership. Set short-term goals to provide direction and celebrate small wins. Maintain an open-door policy for questions and concerns to ensure everyone feels heard. Provide necessary resources and training to adapt to changes effectively. Lastly, recognize and appreciate team effort to build morale and reinforce a positive work environment.
