The quote here "“If people are going to do their best, they must be internally motivated” – Kouzes &amp; Posner Leadership Challenge 4th Edition" opens the gate to wonderful discussion that this post framed. Thanks Mike!

Internal motivation is tied tightly to brain chemicals that work for "drive, incentive and enthusiasm," one day and against it the next.

The key is that when we know how motivation works in the human brain, we can get it more often when the chips are down. I plan to write a blog on the topic and will link it to this terrific post.
