Laziness-

I think that regardless of who you are, where you are at in your profession, or who you are teaching, there will always be lazy, unmotivated students. Even in the professional world, where in theory everyone should be passionate and talented, there will still be students and people who just may have other priorities.
I think that the key to combating a person's laziness is to always carry a good, positive attitude. Also, conducting a positive, upbeat atmosphere throughout class and in rehearsal is a must.
Promoting the importance of having good rehearsals, keeping healthy, and staying positive even when frustrated makes a significant mark in your ensembles.

I found that whenever I get lazy, it is from lack of energy. In our choir in high school, and also in college, our directors always made us run around the building somehow. This would reingage our minds, and we would always sound better and be more efficient at what we do.
