Describe the characteristics of performance-driven team. Describe the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and explain why it is important in understanding the types of motivation when it comes to team performance.
The way a performance-driven team can be described is that they are a team comprised of a skilled specialized team who are goal-oriented and provide great results. But the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is that intrinsic is one that is personalized as you gain benefits for yourself for performing a task while extrinsic is completing a task to avoid penalties and also to receive rewards (Whitney, 2019). The reason this is important to understand when working with a team is that you must use the correct motivation to push your team. If you use an extrinsic approach while they are an intrinsic team, they will not perform as well and vice versa if it was an intrinsic team being motivated through an extrinsic approach.
