But it is a particular challenge for knowledge workers, who must attend to many different tasks and whose to-do list is often ambiguous, requiring outside-the-box thinking. Lists of dos and don'ts are rarely effective. Instead, your best bet is to align their interests with your own--the heart of motivation--and set them free to use their own drive and creativity on their, and your, behalf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut how do you align their interests with your own?
