When you plan the project you have role names assigned to activities. When you start the execution those role names becomes people names. At this time you have a group that you have to transform into a team. To do that is critical to perform project stakeholder analysis actibity as soon as possible. The same from the case you stated. Some project manager forgot that project team has to be involved inside the project stakeholder analysis activity. Motivation and other type of things depends on each stakeholder. Saving Changes...

By giving a good working environment, fair performing and leaning opportunities, zeroing politics, good relations with people etc. These are more required than rewards. Saving Changes...
1. Give freedom and independence to get the job done on their own.
2. Ask for the input and listen to what they say. All want their ideas & thoughts to get count and heard.
3. Introduce programs like employee of the month/quarter, star of the month, etc. to recognize and appreciate the good work or for contribution made, or for the job well done. All want to feel valued and special. Give them a token of appreciation as eCard, eButton, badges, etc.
4. Provide flexibility in working hours. Come early & leave early, come later & stay later.
5. Give option to work from home, if possible. At least once in a week.
6. Take them to team lunch once in a quarter, or arrange small snacks at least once or twice in a month.

Try creating a sense of excitement. Great project, great visibility, great value add to the organization. But yes, one of the challenges of Project Management - getting those who do not work for you to do stuff for you.

You need to be a very good team player. It is a good question but as Grace said, it is a tough one. You need to be cautious and try to lead by example and ensure at least you have a friendly working environment full of trust. Saving Changes...
