If you have not seen the back story on the question of the week, the quick version is that weekly I provide a framing question for my coaching sessions with my direct reports.

I’m always curious how to motivate people, how to structure work that I need to be done with what people like to do.  This weeks question fits in the first category, and is as follows:

Which of the five categories are your primary motivations?

• Money
• Training
• Work exchange opportunities
• Work/Life balance
• Promotion

I let people offer other motivators if the wanted, but no one did.  May people felt compelled to share a bit on each topic preferring to order them rather than pick just one.
