Motivation is critical within every organization and every facet of life. In business, it involves every sub-division, it affects productivity, it aids in the setting and achievement of goals, it improves relationships, and it helps to build stability. Outside of business, motivation is the level of intensity in how we do things. Motivation can be either intrinsic or extrinsic. Either way, it determines the drive that you have towards attaining a particular goal.
