Food For Thought

Dan Pink draws and talks about motivation and what makes us tick – building his argument on studies replicated by economists, psychologists and sociologists looking at what motivates us.

The higher the financial reward, the better the performance ?  Apparently that isn’t what does it…

What does motivate us to do our best?
