I suggest you get a copy of the new book "Revved: Put Yourself and Your Team On the Road to Real Results" by Harry Paul and Ross Reck http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0071465006/powerhomebizguid/002-8324277-2905649?creative=327641&camp=14573&adid=16GXREKYSY992ZXWTEFC&link_code=as1
From the book, here are some tips on how to inspire people to work harder, reach higher, and achieve more:
Engage With Attitude
Have you ever heard the phrase, "Attitude is everything"? Take it to heart, for there's no such thing as an effective leader with a bad attitude. The best way to engage people is with your attitude, enthusiasm, and excitement.
Caring Energizes Everyone
Caring energizes everyone around you. When you open up and really care about people, you make them feel really good about themselves. This releases the reservoir of positive energy that resides in all of us.
The Power of Positive Action
Don't be nice to people just because you want something from them. Be positive just to be positive, and watch how your life changes for the better.
Sincere Appreciation Gets Results
One of the deepest needs of our human existence is the need to be appreciated. Each and every one of us absolutely loves to be appreciated for who we are and what we do.
Get Others to Go the Extra Mile
To really energize those around you, you need to not only take a sincere interest in them and what they do, but also Blow Them Away by doing something incredible and unexpected.
Excitement is Contagious
So is passion. If you're fired up about what you do, chances are that those around you will be, too!
Engage People by Involving Everyone
In today's hypercompetitive marketplace, you cannot afford to take anyone for granted or leave anyone on the bench. Consider an informal get-together to discuss a key issue or topic. The key is making sure everyone has a voice in making suggestions on how things can be improved.
Another must-have book is Fish! A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results by Stephen C. Lundin. You can read a summary of the book here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/News/fish.htm

My view is, if one does no longer have creativity in his/her DNA, he/she do not need imaginitive bent for placing them into movements. Such a individual who has no creativity so embedded will most effective have Alnaschar's dream!

Don't micromanage for starters. It also depends on what your company does. There are different ways to motivate in different industries.
