Ultimately all organization performance comes down to human behavior, and there are always two aspects to achieving high performance: One is competence and the other is motivation. There must be competence in technical skills, and there must be competence in social skills such as teamwork and problem solving. But, the skills are useless unless individuals are motivated to use them. There is a high degree of motivation for not only personal success, but the collective success of the group -- the team and the company. Many of those implementing lean would do well to focus more on creating a systematic approach to motivating all members of the organization. There are dozens of theories and hundreds of books on motivation. Without entering into a debate about different theories, it is best to recognize that people are motivated by different things, at different times, and in different circumstances. Some are motivated by a higher calling and some are motivated by money. In behavioral psychology there is the idea of "multiple schedules of reinforcement." This simply means that at the same time we may be motivated by long-term career goals, a desire to serve our family, money, and social recognition by team members. Multiple things are reinforcing (or punishing) our behavior at the same time, and our behavior is a result of the net effects of these different stimuli. Focusing on only one source motivation (or schedule of reinforcement) is a mistake. It is better to optimize all of the forms of motivation and thereby impact the most number of people who each have their own personal desires.
