Motivation
Rewards and punishment only work for simple task and can decrease intrinsic
motivation for knowledge workers. – “Punished by Rewards” by A. Kohn

Motivation 3.0
Elements of motivation: – Purpose – Mastery – Autonomy
“Drive” by Daniel Pink
• Relate your idea to a bigger purpose - paint the vision • Help people see how this will help them grow their skills - time saved
by your idea could free them up • Give people a choice and get others involved
