People are motivated first and foremost by their own needs and desires. It is therefore impossible to effectively manage a team, and therefore give them feedback, if you are not thoroughly familiar with what motivates its members and if you do not help them satisfy their wishes. However, in today’s climate of uncertainty, mobility, and even crisis, this is not an easy task.
How do you think people generally rank the factors that motivate them? Starting from the desire that drives them the most and moving down to that which they seek to gratify only after the others have been satisfied, select the classification that is most representative. (a). Personal recognition (b). Self-fulfilment (c). Group membership (d). Security (e). Autonomy

Efficiency depends on defining rules and objectives
Negatively: informing people about what will happen if objectives are not reached or respected
Positively: informing people about what will happen when goals are reached or respected
