Discussion summary
Top Tips on Motivation
* Recognition Motivates
* Control Motivates
* Attention Motivates
* Ensure Safe Environment
* "One Size" solutions do not "fit all"
* Avoid "Gamable" Rewards (i.e. where people try to play to gain)
* Encourage Peer-directed recognition (vs. managment controlled recognition)
* External recognition only motivates if it MATCHES internal value
* Share the tedium to help with motivation (vs. allocating to someone else)
* Sincerity carries more weight
* Spontaenous, unprovoked recognition more valuable
* Don't prevent spantanoeus recognition by forcing all recognition into fixed processes
