If you want people to perform better, you reward them, right? Bonuses, commissions, their own reality show. Incentivize them.But that’s not happening here. You’ve got an incentive designed to sharpen thinking and accelerate creativity, and it does just the opposite. It dulls thinking and blocks creativity.

  • -- Dan Pink 丹·平克

如果你想让人们表现得更好,你就奖励他们,对吧?奖金,佣金,他们自己的真人秀。激励他们。但这并没有发生在这里。你的动机是为了提高思维和加速创造力,而它的作用恰恰相反。它使思维迟钝,阻碍创造力。
