Motivation

I think my motivation varies depending on the type of work or project I am involved in. For example, if I am doing something really exciting and challenging, the intrinsic motivation drives my efforts, whereas if a task is required to be done regardless of its challenging nature, then extrinsic motivation dominates the actions. I think both types of motivation have its own place and usefulness.

I think we would need different tactics to motivate others depending on the type of motivation. For intrinsic motivation, we can focus on the satisfaction and joy of accomplishing a challenging task whereas we can focus more on rewards when motivating others on extrinsic motivation. Fear and anger can be part of the extrinsic type of motivation, depending on the followers.

I think custom strategy , in terms of motivation, would make more sense as one size does not fit all. Depending on the nature of task at hand, we need to choose the right motivation type, and then based on individual personality types, customize our tactics, incentives and fears.
