Human motivation is an essential topic for product managers and change leaders. Without motivation, clients won’t consider trying out our products, and co-workers won’t be interested in changing their ways of working.

“It is impossible to reduce the complexity of human motivation to something simple or (simplistic) without making choices in language and definitions.”
