I had just got up this morning, and was brushing my teeth while browsing the Internet (Ok, that’s how geeky can you get!), when I stumbled on this pic. And I laughed and laughed for a whole minute! Organizations throw in carrots all the time, but some of them can be mind numbing out-of the [...]

I was having a conversation with a good friend (someone that I would say I know pretty well). But I was mystified by some choices he had been making. So I asked him (about one choice in particular) why he chose what he did. As he explained some of his thinking (and desires and interests) it became v ...

I recently finished the book Drive – The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us – by Daniel H. Pink. As the title indicates, this book is about what motivates us to perform and the evolution of the underlying motivations as time progressed. The main concept introduced by Daniel is what he calls “t ...

While the world gets on with doing hard stuff, often without expectation of reward, “Millenials” invented gamification to help them to use the stairs and reduce the amount of waste in their lives. In Stockholm in 2009, a group of students noted that no-one seemed to take the stairs at a Subway exit. ...

Or should it be the stick and the carrot? Either way, the idiom remains the same. I seem to have more stick than carrot lately, and am taking most of it in stride. Occasionally one comes across a mean spirited person with a chip on their shoulder. I have learned that the chip is there for a reason a ...

Ideas for paintings come to me at odd times. Driving to or from work, in the shower, or when I wake in the middle of the night and can't sleep. In my internal struggles in art there are rewards and setbacks. Paintings that didn't go the way I want, paintings that sell, rejection and acceptance, on a ...

“Carrots” (monetary rewards and grades) only go so far in motivating us . . . What human beings really crave is the opportunity to exercise Autonomy, develop Mastery, and feel a sense of Purpose! The more we are treated like FWU’s (Fungible Work Units) on an endless conveyor belt from Birth to Death ...

I have new neighbours who have a 2 year old named Frankie. Angelic face with true blond curls he looks like an advertisers dream. He is very cute apart from one thing. He screams a lot to get attention. The screaming is often accompanied by him shouting ‘don’t want to.’ I’m guessing that the terribl ...

When it comes to motivation, there’s a gap between what science knows and what business does. Our current business operating system-which isbuilt around external, carrot-and-stick motivators-doesn’t work and often does harm. We need an upgrade. And the science shows the way.
