Questions 7-8 are based on the following passage.
There is no trick to motivating others. It requires a clear, unbiased
understanding of the situation at hand, deep insight into the vagaries
of human nature at both the individual and the group levels, the
establishment of appropriate and reasonable expectations and goals,
and the construction of a balanced set of tangible and intangible
incentives. It requires, in other words, hard thinking and hard work.

challenges-and the stakes-become that much higher. The questions

different motivation levels that vary in different ways? How can you

of hundreds or thousands? How can you help people feel enthusiastic
and committed, especially in difficult times?
