We all need each other to produce a product. The reasons behind what motivates an employee to work are quite different.

If a manager is able to meet the varying needs, he will find that the productivity of each employee will increase. Give clear directions and set reachable goals for your staff.

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms described above and cannot find relief, professional help may be needed.
