An other interesting video by TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment, Design). In this episode career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with the fact that social scientists know but most managers don’t; and that’s that traditional rewards aren’t always as effective as we think. TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts.

What is coeliac disease?
Coeliac disease (pronounced see-liac, spelled coeliac disease in other countries) is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food.
Spiked drinks!
Drugs are sometimes used to assist a sexual assault. Because of the effects of these drugs, victims may be physically helpless, unable to refuse sex, and can't remember what happened. The drugs often have no color, smell, or taste and are easily added to flavored drinks without the victim's knowledge.
Ganymede
anymede is the largest satellite in our solar system. It is larger than Mercury and Pluto, and three-quarters the size of Mars. If Ganymede orbited the Sun instead of orbiting Jupiter, it would easily be classified as a planet.
The Big Bang!
But what is this time machine, actually? Firstly it’s an impressive structure, then you try and put below the border between France and Switzerland, near Geneva, the biggest, most complex scientific instrument in the world, to date.
Graphene
Graphene has an extremely high electrical conductivity, allowing electrons to fly though it almost like photons (particles of light) through a vacuum.
Your Business Needs New Ideas
"If you always do what you've always done, you will always get the same results!". So...change something!
Help Protect the Ocean!
Sustainable seafood represents a win-win relationship with our oceans that can endure forever. When humans consume seafood, we leave an indelible mark on the ecosystem. It is critically important for our own well-being, and that of the oceans, that we understand the impacts of our choices.
Sungazing…
...is a practice that includes gazing at the sun for nourishment or as a spiritual practice. Looking into the sun is dangerous, and can cause solar retinopathy (damage to the eye's retina) and lead to permanent eye damage or blindness.
Music & Arts
Acoustic guitar solos make up a slice of a musical genre that has all but vanished from popular music - instrumentals. By instrumentals I mean music that is composed and played by a human using musical instruments...

yea no shit mr Pink! who would know intrinsic incentives and rewards were better than extrinsic? I’ll tell you EVERYONE!!! But it is extremely hard for a company to offer intrinsic rewards or even know WHAT the employees want and also the intrinsic incentives CHANGES over time. imagine a company with 100.000 employees who have different intrinsic drives that changes over time. It has actually more to do with company-employee fit.
Brilliant!
I could have told you all this more than fifteen years ago. Good managers have always known this stuff.
so basically hes saying the capatilist system as it stands is not working but we continueing as though it is ,is self destructive.. similar to the occupy wall stret messgae, and a new creative way forward is the challenge we all face together
‘there’s a missmatch between what science knows and what business does’
Great presentation on motivation.
could anyone ever believe this, i don’t. maybe i’m wrong – i just don’t see why the federal reserve would be telling anyone the truth about anything… or excuse me, the corporations that answer to the federal reserve.. aka britan…aka queen bee. what’s the agenda?! hmmm.. someone is saving a lot of money in ‘dark’ of this dis-info. geez, as if anyone who lives and breaths would believe that incentives don’t work… we all know about Pavlov.. the deprived rats ..the deprived human studies
I couldn’t get to listen to the end because, you know, i was already DEAF you shouter!
The microphones are wayyyy to clear when I can hear the sounds of his spit moving in his mouth.
roses are brown
violets are brown
whos been shitting in my garden?
@gyoza007 I don’t think that is true. A smart business would maximize the value of its human capital by using both mechanisms. For example: A group of auto mechanics could be rewarded an extra 100 bucks for perfectly following tire change procedure each week, and they could be allowed eight to ten hours of work time every week to do whatever they want to improve the shop. This allows folks with direct domain expertise to drive efficiency into the business.
I agree with the money and motivation, the only thing that drives somebody is their love for what they do, not the money.
@balleand no…not when they’re dangling off the end a stick. I’ve noticed that over the years the carrot keeps getting smaller, and the stick keeps getting bigger. : )
@gyoza007 you like carrots no?
Don’t do it because someone pays you, do it because you want to? The more motivated a person is, the more creative they will be? Isn’t that why people watch these speeches about motivation? This guy is just rehashing things we already know. The most successful people love their work, obviously. Money is a good incentive for most people, but perhaps more free-time is a better incentive for others, or better benefits. This is nothing new.
@kylemacmac2 LOL too right! They belong ‘side-by-each’ on Totally Looks Like.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it’s an effective way to push a social agenda.
Bravo!!
Great video, this type of research has significant implications for our education system.
@Inrxz Get an ADD coach, medication, or biofeedback training. They really help
That candle in the illustration he uses (1:51)….it doesn’t look right.
ZEITGEIST!!!!!!!!
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU REMOVE MONEY
I really enjoyed this, but I just accidentally pushed the “dislike” button. I’m sorry,… it was really good though. So subtract one from the dislike.
maybe my brain just works different but mounting the box to the wall was my first thought
@Chumly409 if you move the table you would still have to mount the box to the wall or where else are you going to place the candle
@Chumly409 i was thinking to put the candle in the box rather than move the entire table.
