One of the most likely reasons that transformations stagnate and fail is a lack of a plan to motivate people. A motivation plan tangibly improves workflow, and when it’s well executed it spreads the obsession for success throughout the company.

Motivation can’t be mandated or forced. It also won’t happen on it’s own. Employees won’t just show up highly motivated: it’s part of leadership’s duty to make them so. Managers must leverage many different ways to motivate their practitioners if they want success.
