Want some easy answers on how to motivate your employees? Most managers do. But there's a problem: You can't motivate other people.

It's true. People do things for their own reasons, not for our reasons. Motivation is internal, not external. No amount of rah-rah or threats will motivate people to perform. The feeling, the desire has to come from inside.

So what's the answer? Simple. Create a working environment where people do what you want them to do but for their reasons. Place your emphasis on their reasons.
