Intrinsic motivation is defined as doing something because it is inherently interesting or enjoyable to perform for personal satisfaction rather than for some consequence, a person who is intrinsically motivated acts for the fun of a challenge rather than external rewards (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Extrinsic motivation is when doing an activity because it leads to a separable outcome, a person who is extrinsically motivated acts in hopes of gaining an outside reward (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Intrinsically motivated people do things because they simply enjoy it or the challenge, an extrinsically motivated person perform an activity for its influential value whether it be obtaining a reward or evading punishment.

Characteristics of a performance driven team include a group of people who have solid and deep trust in each other and in their purpose. They feel free to express feelings and ideas and everyone is working together toward the same goals. Team members understand how to work together and how to accomplish tasks. Everyone understands team performance goals as well as individual performance goals and they know what is expected. Team members are able to diffuse tension and friction while maintaining a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The team can extensively discuss issues where everyone, and everyone contributes. Disagreements are viewed as a good thing and conflicts are well managed. Only constructive criticism is allowed and is used toward problem solving and removing problems. The team makes decisions when there is full agreement and when an agreement cannot be reached, a team leader will decide. Each team member contributes equally and respects the team processes and other members (Wiese & Ricci, 2016).
