There are only two types of motivation - love motivation or fear motivation. People do what they do either out of love or fear. Many go to work because they fear what will happen if they don't. Others go because they love it, the sense of achievement they get, the opportunity to meet with friends. Your challenge is to help employees be driven by love as opposed to fear.
Most people spend a significant part of their day at work, usually in the company of others.
They are often looking for additional opportunities to make maximum use of their talents and develop new ones.
