Bottom line is I need X amount of production a day. I don't care how I get to X as long as it gets done when I need it done and I hit the numbers I need hit.

Swamp dude, you've nailed it. What I use to motivate my test developers in Maryland bears ZERO resemblance to what I use to motivate my test developers in Guandong Province. Nor does it bear any resemblance to what I use to motivate my process engineers in Guadalajara, my kidlet in California, or the Bat**** Crazy Basenji/Border Collie mix at my feet.
Geography, species, culture, place in time - all the same (i.e. they're all valid variables). You gotta know what each individual needs before you can define the carrot.
