Paper Title: Motivation: How to increase project team performance

Abstract: Stimulating team member performance requires a project manager to harness many different interpersonal skills.  The level of enthusiasm applied toward project efforts has a direct impact on the project results.  Because motivation can inspire, encourage, and stimulate individuals to achieve common goals through teamwork, it is in the project manager’s best interest to drive toward project success through the creation and maintenance of a motivating environment for all members of the team.
