Anger, fear & sadness are powerful motivational forces. 

• A motive gives people a reason to act
• People act on their emotions 
• Negative emotions are powerful motivators because they're uncomfortable - people want to act on them.
• And negative emotions are prevalent in today's workplace! 

Think of the act(s) you're trying to motivate as treatments for negative emotions -  

• Anger, fear - does the action reduce the threats being felt?
• Worry, anxiety - does the action reduce the uncertainty being felt?
• Sadness, sense of loss - does the action offer a way to mourn & move on?
