While I do care about working hard and delivering quality work in general, I will never care about someone else's projects as much as I will my own or my own career advancement. It's very difficult to get excited when the CEO tries to drum up motivation for something that will make him fabulously more wealthy (if it goes well) and might mean a marginal increase in pay for me. Yeah, thanks, but no thanks. If you want me to put in more effort than I'm already doing, you're going to need to use cold hard cash.
