Let us consider that three staff are working on a single project with zero accountability. Now in order to motivate the staff to do their job with optimum productivity, you assign them individual goals within the project itself, such as complete the integration part flawlessly within next 15 days, train user within 5 days etc. Authenticity of the task and achievement could be obtained as feedback from the user. This way all the individual staff will try to perform at their best to earn the reward for themselves. And as it is said, 'As an individual grows the organization grows by itself'.
