These days I have devoted several articles to motivation, perhaps because the era that we live, full of negative news, forces a bit to dig how to motivate us to ourselves and to others. There is an intense debate that ask it the friend Yoriento – about what motivates us and if the motivation comes from the inside of the individual or not. In this sense I quite agree with the theory enunciated by Frederick Herzberg in an article in the Harvard Business Review, and I have commented on this page.
