I have the privilege of working with some amazingly talented people. People, for the most part, who are from a generation different than my own. My generation, the “boomer” generation, has generally defined success in tangible ways….more money, more stuff. There is almost a linear equation that provides motivation for us:
Good job+long hours+sacrifice=lots of money, cool stuff and a comfortable retirement
It’s been my observation, however, that subsequent generations do math a little differently…okay, a LOT differently. My anecdotal evidence has now been corroborated by a recent study. Daniel Pink, author of the brilliant books “Drive” and “A Whole New Mind“, gave a presentation at TED that puts words to what most of us already intuitively know….we need to change the way we lead our people!

Interesting…Hopefully my boss doesn’t see this and decide to do away with our performance bonuses. 🙂
Also, I wonder if someone can motivate this guy to spell correctly? LOL
