I'd recommend some of the following:

 

1. Get everyone on board with your vision: Unite all the team members by helping them understand and making them realize that we're all working together to achieve common goals and objectives.

2. Open channels for communication: Let everyone be the part of planning and share their ideas. Make the team members feel confident as essential part of the team which is likely to result in them sharing their ideas. Value their ideas and pay attention to their feedback.

3. Create an environment of trust: Let your team members know that you're never beyond their approach and even in times of conflict you're there to back them up.

4. Organize and Promote Brainstorming sessions

5. Lead from the front: Even though by doing the above you're likely to get team members behind you but motivating them is a whole other story. Examples need to be set to inspire, your leadership role has to be at the heart of the team and embedded.

6. Create a system of Rewards: Innovation, Creativity, Productivity and Efficiency <--- based on these4 indicators rewards can be distributed and prizes set to keep everyone fueled up.
