In my experience on small teams that I've been on - a key motivator for people is shipping products and features. The sooner and more frequently you can do this the more positive reinforcement there is for the entire team - not to mention reduced risk of something never making it to the target users.
Teams that have figured out the optimal way to get product and features into the hands of users as quickly as possible are the happiest teams because it's evidence that they're working together efficiently to meet their shared goals.
