If Jane needs a team to achieve something, she'll be a team player. Something needs to tick to make her that team-player. You put Jane on a basketball team, and she's becomes team player if she wants a championship ring. You put Jane in a military unit. She wants to get out of a battle alive.

Simply ask this: What do you employees want?
