If you notice that the group has gone off track from a task, you can always bring the group back through various motivational tasks. Some of these things could be like taking a quick break, reviewing the meeting, and even asking the others to come up with a solution to the group.
You will also want to come up with task-orientated activities so that you can always have the group motivated and ready for the tasks at hand.

The activities that you can do will vary and you can find plenty of ideas online or from higher ranking co-workers. You will find that you can even make up your own activities because it depends on the type of people that you are working with and the type of team that you are apart.
If you really want to motivate someone, you have to find it inside yourself to get the team to reason with you and to get the motivation it takes to stay focus. You will find that if you are good leader you will not have so many issues with team motivation, however you should always be thinking about the communication channels, and how you can communicate better within the team. You will find that communication skills are vital for you to be able to motivate anyone.
It is very important that you learn how to motivate or lead a team, because there are many life lessons in being part of team. You'll learn even more lessons if you are in a group that can function as one. You will find that it is very important as a leader for you to be able to communicate clearly and by being in several teams you'll get the practice and training of how to be a leader. Being a leader is a great honor and you might just want to take it all in with a positive attitude. Remember, when you are a positive leader then you will be a part of a positive team. What you bring in the team is what you have to survive as a team. If you do not give it the time and energy needed to find out how to motivate anyone then the team will fail.
