Mike Krzyzewski talked about motivation in one of my all-time favorite books, "The Gold Standard: Building a World-Class Team":
Motivation can come from many different sources.
One source is reinforcing that sense of perspective that you taught your team early on.
Another source is reviewing your established standards, giving your team the chance to see how they have performed based on those standards and how they can uphold them at an even higher level.
Another element of getting your team motivated is rallying support from the outside by broadcasting your group's message...Typically a group's message is some combination of your goal and your standards: This is what we are going to do and this is how we are going to do it.
Bringing about those emotions and harnessing the energy that they create is the essence of motivation.
