When attempting to motivate yourself or your co-workers to action don't use the word "must". Say "we will" or "we can" instead. This will provide more energy and enthusiasm. The word "must" trigger negative emotions preparing us to defend ourselves from the threat of failure making us feel insecure and powerless. For maximum performance take the word "must" out of your vocabulary.
