This author took more of a technical perspective on motivation. First, I don't believe you can motivate employees - that comes from core behavior deep inside through parents, and other role models. However, you can create an environment that demotivates your most motivated employees - the pareto group - where you get 80 percent of your results from 20 percent of your workforce.
I'll go with the definition of an engaged employee from Gallup that defines it as employees who show discretionary effort. These are the ones who are self-motivated, proactive, show initiative, don't wait to be told what to do, don't need to be voluntold. They lean in, leap across the line, make suggestions, help their teammates, and get their work done on time.
The question is how do you create an environment where people want to be engaged are are then willing to show discretionary efforT?
