“In college I was inspired by a course called “Motivational Theory.” We studied various techniques scientifically proven to heighten morale and business productivity. How eager I was to put this into practice. After starting my own small construction business, I made every effort to motivate lackluster employees. How quickly I learned that the best way to motivate people is to hire those who are self-motivated!
