Motivate
The carrot or the stick?
Fortunately, scientific research has unearthed more sophisticated techniques for motivating people (although those can still work).
It doesn’t mean turning into Mr (or Ms) Motivator with an unnatural smile and constant rose-tinted view of the world, or adopting the backslapping bonhomie of the insistent boss-cum-friend. In fact, quite the opposite.
To motivate someone requires a high level of trust. It also means making the effort to understand what specifically motivates them as an individual and finding out what forces might be getting in the way.
Equipped with clarity on these matters, there is a wide range of things we can do to help turn the most despondent of souls into the most determined.
