Motivating people is tough. There is even a hypothesis that states that it is impossible to motivate people or employees – you can only hire the pre-motivated employee. And how do you judge motivation in a short interview – that would be another challenge on a another blog.

Autonomy: A person would like to do things at his own behest rather than the boss
Purpose: Work has to serve a purpose and not just be a source for money
Mastery: You do things because you want to learn something
