How Motivation Works

Watch this video for some counter intuitive results from psychological studies on how incentives and rewards actually work. It's dependent on the type of work involved.




Dan Pink's presentation is worth watching. Though geared toward a business situation, I encourage you leaders and dads to think about how this applies in your family, and in church/civic leadership situations.

By the way, there are MANY fascinating TED talks available, well worth scanning. I subscribe to their blog feed as a way to keep a stream of incoming new ideas. Finally, you can learn a lot about how to do effective presentations by watching these talks.
