Motivation

Motivation is the inner desire to take action. Motivating others is getting them to do what you need them to do because they want to do it!

Generally motivation stems from some form of self-interest.  There usually needs to be some form of reward or benefit for the individual or team, otherwise they will not be motivated to act. 

It can come in many forms such as a simple thank you, peer recognition, increased responsibility or a financial incentive.

Employee motivation translates into energy, energy into action and action into results.
