Oooh tough one. I think it's kind of like finding the right spark to light the match. For some, it's taking them to the competition, or others its showing them something new and speficically saying "you can make this exactly what you want it, the limits are yours", for others (like me) just give us time and we'll realize the leader was inside ourselves all along, finally some people just need that "baton" -- form will follow suite. (WHY? Because some people want the responsibility, just can't ask for it).

A big motivator (i'm using myself as an example): When someone gives me a responsibility that I'm not necessarily happy about, hearing the words "I gave this to you because I think you can do it" or something along those lines really brings me around. Alot of times, the praise is implied and never verbally "said". SAY IT. When we hear it, we think, we realize and consequently, we get inspired.
