Overview: Motivation is a topic that constantly nags at managers. They have been told that they cannot motivate anyone but themselves, yet they remain responsible for the performance of their employees. Motivation is the inner drive that makes people want to reach both personal and professional goals. Motivation comes from inside a person, which is why managers can't give it to their employees. Instead, they can show employees how their jobs fulfill their own needs, interests, values, and personal goals. Every employee has special needs, interests, values, and personal goals. Identifying these things will help managers understand what employees want and need from their jobs, which will help them create an environment conducive to motivation. But they must be willing to spend the time to talk with their employees and learn more about them in order to identify their needs, interests, values, and goals. Many managers believe that competition is a good motivator. It can be, but it can also be dangerous and discouraging. Managers who pit employees against each other often do more harm than good. A more effective technique is to put employees in competition with themselves or to put a team of employees in competition with another department or another business.
