Chris Corrigan from Canada makes an important point about the role of "motivation" in life in one of his recent posts to his blog, Parking Lot.
I agree with Chris that motivation is clearly a driving factor in my work. For example, nothing happens with the economic development plans and strategies that I help communities create, unless leadership and citizens are motivated to use their plan to make something happen. This suggests that we must engineer motivation into these plans. A plan that does not motivate action is no plan!
Self-interest is almost always a key driver in why people do things. In civic undertakings, we must work on creating greater shared community interest in doing the right things that sustain the "community." This is not always easy.
