Let me start by saying that understanding what motivates each employee is vital as you can ensure you place them in the right roles according to their motivation and strengths.

What is power motivation?
Power motivation is the theory that some people are motivated by a desire for prestige and reputation or the ability to influence others and be in a position of power. People express their desire for power in different ways. They may be drawn to careers where they can direct other people’s behavior through positive actions. Business executives, teachers, journalists and politicians are all people in positions of power. They may take risks and use prestige to motivate others.
People in the workplace who are interested in building power through influence rather than achievement are usually the most effective at motivating teams. Their teams see organizational goals, exhibit a greater sense of responsibility and have more team spirit.
