TED: Dan Pink on the Surprising Science of Motivation

submitted by yoghurt

1 decade 4 years 8 months 1 week ago

Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward.

Moving this video to yoghurt's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Very interesting. Thanks!

*beg

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter yoghurt.

How the heck did this get 4700 views and only 6 votes? Is it THAT bad??? Jeeeeze.

I remember voting for this before...

There it was.

Video cannot be declared a dupe of the specified video - ignoring dupeof request by gwiz665.

Hah, my mistake, it's the other way around. Thank goodness for safeguards.

I dunno... His Encarta vs Wikipedia argument kind of clinched it for me. People doing stuff out of their own passion rather than what job they might have will probably produce a better product.

Incentivising never worked for me if I didn't actually care about the task at hand.

I dunno; it's interesting that he has scientific studies, but I also think he might be misreading he data coming back.
