As you probably can tell, I’m a huge fan of TED talks. Last night I watched this presentation on the science of motivation and wanted to share. I think the points here are especially true for people in creative roles, and if I could make a generalization, very true especially for those who are under 40 at the moment. Carrots and sticks, as well as standardized rewards are not as important to us as things like autonomy and loving what we do. Hope you enjoy.
