How do you manage incompetent people?

All back to the boss (I am a boss) you can break up workers into a couple of category styles.

Motivation
Do they run towards something? OR
Do they run away from something?

Working style.
Do they want their job to reflect their identity OR
Do they want to just pay the bills?

Behavior style.
Do they like to think OR
Do they like to do.

The best bosses and businesses adapt to the styles and strengths of the people they get OR are great at recognising the right attributes for the right positions in the first place.

Most people don't know how to answer this,  but the question should be asked 'what do you want? What do you value'.  For most milenials it's not money,  hell it's not even less hours,  it's autonomy and purpose 'what I do matters to me and others, I make a positive difference' but some just want a golden path to money - they may not be a team player but some of the hardest workers if you dangle the carrot and manage their style.
