There are many reasons a tech team might become demotivated: heavy workloads, tight deadlines, frustrating bugs and issues, or even the “repetitive” work of keeping internal systems up and running. After long hours of work, even new projects and releases that once elicited excitement can start to lose their appeal.

When a tech leader spots signs of low morale and demotivation, they owe it to their team members, their customers and the work itself to help rekindle the lost enthusiasm. From reminding the team of their impact on colleagues and customers to letting them set aside work and connect on a personal level, there are many ways a tech leader can reenergize team members who have lost their “spark.” Here, 16 members of Forbes Technology Council share their favorite tips and strategies for doing just that.

A simple way to motivate teams when you’re always grinding is to build some fun into your Agile program with “demo days”—and have leaders attend. Three things will happen. First, people will feel like they’re part of something bigger and take greater pride in their work. Second, mentoring will begin happening up and down between people of different skill sets and ages. Third, leaders will get asked some truly insightful questions. – Jim Barrett, CEO Edge Total Intelligence
