| Creating
opportunities |
| Motivating
people means understanding what drives and stimulates people to work well. It
is achieved through a combination of understanding their individual needs and
creating the opportunities for them to want to work well. |

| Spot
the signs |
| Recognising
that people are not motivated is not as simple as it sounds. They do not always
tell you how they are feeling or admit that they are dissatisfied. |
| |
| Demoralised |
| Demotivation
is insidious. It is like having toothache: not life-threatening but debilitating. |
| |
| Supply
and demand |
| If
people cannot get what they want, such as the ability to develop their skills,
they will demand more of what they can get. Hence, the demand for more money may
be hiding a desire for a more challenging job, or a hankering for perks may be
masking a need to be appreciated. |
