To clarify though, I don’t think the entire seminar or his point is wrong. It’s just that the test has to be the same for both if you are going to compare the results, pretty simple really.
What I don’t get is how they have a different test when they test mechanical skill, rudimentary cognitive tasks and when they have the test of higher than rudimentary cognitive skill.
He says the people got a reward based upon their performance in the first test.
But in the second test they were offered their reward before performing the task? And was expected to do better when they already knew what they were getting paid?
Now, I’m a socialist personally, but I still think this was wrong.
@simulacrae It gets much better after a few minutes and the pain becomes tolerable. Some great ideas make it worth wading through.
Dan Pink has come up 3 times in the last day from different directions. Science and economic studies that explain the conflicts I have been seeing in business and organizations for decades. I have a whole new paradigm to work from and share with others.
A Question – what is better?
1) To watch ‘TED’ type (RSA, BookNotes, TED, Charlie Rose, etc) talks of thought leaders that are the distillation of their work after presenting it 100′s of time.
2) Or to read the source work with all depth?
@prosumero also, volume leveling!!
Good video, but the audio is unbearable, the distortion is almost painful to hear whenever Dan becomes a but too dynamic…
Sort of beating a dead horse, but nonetheless in a way that can grab other people’s attention.
I have worked at a Hotel for almost 3 years, (I don’t believe in Hotels, btw) and what I can say is that I never felt good with it. I worked hard for about 6 months, despite the pay wasn’t so great as it should be for a 4 stars hotel (and later as 5 stars the pay was not any better) but the biggest turn down I faced there was that I never got any recognition for what I did well. Bosses always seemed to focus only on what we failed doing. That has always been my biggest incentive: Recognition.
Blender 3D is another great example of people doing extraordinary things for other people for free.
Very interesting concepts – helpful to understand motivation and how to engage employees – Challenges the commonly held misconceptions on what motivates people. Thank you.
I’m trying to show a new horizon to my workmates, a diferent paradigm, but most of them do not speak enlglish or understand it. I think that this kind of provoking videos should have subtitles in brazilian portuguese!
Anyways – I’m going to translate the RSA Animate of this issue and broadcast in my company.
Great Job!
@theRSAorg cool, thanks
@intermender Other guy is Matthew Taylor – CE of the RSA. Maybe check out his RSA Animate Left Brain, Right Brain if you liked his questions? It’s on the RSA Channel under RSA Animate playlists. Thanks for the feedback – really appreciate it. Becca
Accessible, clear, thought provoking. Also great questions by that other guy!
much respect! you’re amazing!
daniel pink looks like bob saget
@prosumero either try youtube’s auto-caption stuff or do it yourself. translation ain’t easy and thus isn’t free
this interesting video should have subtitles in the main global languages (spanish, chinese, france, german,…)
genius
