From the Leadership McLean County opening retreat:
"Leaders create an environment in which people motivate themselves."
This says that by and large when leaders inherit employees, the values that motivate them are largely ingrained. Successful leaders set them up so that they can feast on those motivational factors. If they're competitive types, then get them into a team environment. If pay drives them, emphasize the connection between results and pay. For the servant-minded, highlight the greater good. Give mentoring opportunities to those who love to teach, writing opportunities to those who like to create, coordination duties to those who love to organize.
