Idleness, indifference and irresponsibility are healthy responses to absurd work.

Frederick Herzberg, asserts that the powerful motivator in our lives isn't money; it's the opportunity to learn, grow in responsibilities, contribute to others, and be recognized for achievements.

True motivation comes from achievement, personal development, job satisfaction, and recognition.

You cannot love an employee into creativity, although you can ... avoid his dissatisfactions with the way you treat him.

If you want someone to do a good job, give them a good job to do.

A reward once given becomes a right.

It is only when a person has his own generator that we can talk about motivation. He then needs no outside stimulation. He wants to do it.
