You can get things done better if you understand the people doing them

Everyone knows that motivated employees do better jobs.  Motivation works universally.  A motivated business owner will be more helpful to your project.  Motivated team workers work faster.  So on and so forth.  The fifty-dollar question is, of course, how the heck do I motivate people?

Step one to motivating people is understanding them.  It’s also step one for managing them, dealing with them, handling their problems, and a million other interactions.

That leads me to this amazing article, which although it may seem to simplify things greatly, does a great job of summarizing the bulk of how people think, what motivates them, and how you can better understand them.  Learn these and live by them.  It’ll be a great help.
