 How it Works
Looking beyond external or extrinsic motivators.
However, lower level extrinsic motivators have to be
satisfactory for there to be a higher level of intrinsic
motivation.
Motivation is essentially intrinsic. External factors provide
the conditions.

MOTIVATION THROUGH
COMMUNICATION
Communication must flow two ways
among all members of an organization.
Create an organizational culture that
rewards listening, creating facilities for
dialogue & showing others that talking
with superiors counts:
train managers in listening skills
remove barriers to open
communications
provide ways to facilitate communication
 Listen

So when you are listening to somebody, completely,

attentively, then you are listening not only to the
words, but also to the feeling of what is being
conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.
