I see many good answers and I agree with those which stated a great leadship, planning and people skills are needed.

Starting from the layout of the office, temperature, are items in place to make it a compftable work space; each worker should have the pride to perform to the max of his/her ability;

I found a flexable work schedule is a good way to motivate employees as well as paying them well or give insentives ... vacation, health care, bonuses ...

Having an understanding and caring boss is (at least for me) the biggest modivator to work for him/her and giving my best to make the team shine and to be the best of the best
