"I am best motivated through words of praise and recognition for a job well done. I like to know my efforts are noticed. In my current position, we have a leaderboard. I like that concept because it also creates a healthy bit of personal competition for me."

Excellent response! Your interviewer will understand your hopes and expectations and the practices of the company for which you have worked. I assisted with the wording in your response a bit to help with clarity.
