Demotivation can occur when leadership does not represent faith in their team. In the context of projects, this means speaking your firm belief and confidence into an individual or team without any evidence to support that position. The principle is that this will increase accountability and opportunity for success as the individual or team will strive to fulfill the words spoken over them. Saving Changes...

There are as many causes of lack of motivation as there are people who are demotivated.
If it's a single member of the team, then you are going to have to figure that out with them
If the whole team is not motivated, then you'll need to:
Work on getting the team aligned and engaged with the vision of the project (the 'why')
Make sure they get feedback on their performance (maybe they're are not unmotivated, but just unclear where they need to go)
Then lead, inspire and empower them to get there. Saving Changes...
