 Well, how did the best manager ever had to motivate you to perform well? My best manager was awesome. He always checked in with you on a daily basis, started the day, midday, and then was always available to answer any questions. And would just spend time and talk to you as a human. Not as a number, not as a stat. And to me, that gets you more motivated to continue doing the best job for them instead of being another cog in the wheel.
