The Puzzle of Motivation
February 3, 2016
Help someone, you earn a friend. Help someone too much, you make an enemy.
-Erol Ozon, professor and writer

My article, "12 Reasons People Love to Work for You," in the November/December issue of Exchange Live, the interactive digital version of Exchange magazine, contains bonus material including a TED Talk where Dan Pink shares results from experiments about what truly motivates people at work. He concludes...

"There is a mismatch between what science knows and what business does. Here is what science knows. One: Those 20th century rewards, those motivators we think are a natural part of business, do work, but only in a surprisingly narrow band of circumstances. Two: Those if-then rewards often destroy creativity. Three: The secret to high performance isn't rewards and punishments, but that unseen intrinsic drive — the drive to do things for their own sake. The drive to do things because they matter."
