The best way I have found is to work with people and focus on their individuality. If you manage with O3's, feedback, coaching and delegation with a key focus on delivering results as a team and developing people, I think you have come a very long way!
My experience is that money rewards etc have little impact compared to the above.

In my opinion no one can be motivated: motivation comes from ourselves. We can help (coaching? O3?) a person to find his own motivation but that's a change of mindset (for both 'motivators' and 'to be motivated').

I'm writing a paper on just this topic and I have found the book 'Drive-the surprising truth about what motivates us' (Pink, 2009). to have the most comprehensive collection of information based on studies and research.
Intrinsic motivation is the only way to ensure lasting results, but we have to ensure the employee is a good fit for the environment and we allow the freedom for growth so the employee can strive for master in his own skill. I agree with Mads comments about tailoring rewards for individuals. We also have to ask ourselves as managers how much control are we willing to relinquish in order to give greater autonomy to our staff?

RSA made a really cool animation from the talk Dan Pink gave there. I really like the RSA's technique for animating a speech. It is riveting and the message gets through.
