We all want to be rewarded for the work we do. 

It’s simple. You put in the hours and effort, and you get something in return. Ideally, you get a sense of accomplishment, a salary that matches your effort, and the feeling that your progress is being rewarded. If you’re going above and beyond in effort, you probably expect a little of that energy in return. Unfortunately, this isn’t always how it works. You don’t always get what you need in return. Sometimes all hard work begets is more hard work. That’s not a great incentive, right? Sometimes that’s what it is in the corporate world. The best managers know how to get the best work out of their employees through the right motivation. Even if the money isn’t all the way there, they know how to make their workers feel like they’re being encouraged.
