Traditional carrot-and-stick incentives are destroying modern workplaces. To ignite true performance, we must tap into the deeper human desire to direct our own lives and contribute to a larger purpose.
Traditional rewards often extinguish intrinsic motivation and diminish performance for creative or complex tasks.
True engagement requires autonomy over what you do, when you do it, who you do it with, and how you do it.
Mastery is the challenging but rewarding pursuit of continuous improvement in a specific domain.
