When I speak to business leaders and managers all over North America, the question I am asked most often is this: "Are Xers really motivated by anything other than money?" The answer is an emphatic "YES." Of course, Xers want to be fairly remunerated for the work we do. Who doesn't? What is more, if the job ever becomes "just a job," then money will be the most important incentive in a manager's repertoire. But, Xers want much more than money out of work. Work is critical to Xers' self definition and sense of well-being because it is our greatest opportunity to build a new kind of success and security from within ourselves. That means that managers have it within their power to provide non-financial incentives which are profoundly important to Xers.

The non-financial incentives most sought by Xers are Self Building™ opportunities. If you are an empowering manager and create conditions for effective delegation, you can send Xers' motivation level into the stratosphere with Self Building™ bonus incentives.
