My philosophy, lead by example. With few exceptions, I don't do things I tell my employees they can't do. I don't ask employees to do anything I haven't done, or wouldn't be willing to do if necessary.

Let them know exactly what is expected (which should be realistic) then be there if they need help, but give them autonomy.
You must keep your eye on the goal and not on satisfying your own ego.
If the goal is to make a certain amount of sales, it is not going to get there by putting the fear of God in your staff.

I agree with Brian G... that's a good place to start. Secondly, you have to realize you can't motivate people - they must motivate themselves to do a good job. What you are striving for is a voluntary effort on their part to exceed goals and expectations. Praise and reward good work ethic and production but do not hesitate to quickly cut bad apples, too. Negativity spreads like plague in the work place.
