incentive, n.Definitions

An Incentive is the possibility of getting more money than you can earn.

The Incentive is better than the threat — Don't drive the horse with a whip, but with oats.

Incentive is neccessary to getting things done — a dry finger cannot pick up salt.

Incentive is a chief motivator — no man is better than his incentives

Incentive is a powerful political tool. Problems are often solved by making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.

An Incentive is simply a means of urging people to do more of a good thing and less of a bad thing.
