TED talk The Puzzle of Motivation


The TED talk “The Puzzle of Motivation” by Daniel Pink it presents the case of how carrots and sticks, if then rewards, don’t work enough of the time to base a society on it. Daniel Pink starts the talk off by telling the listener to act as if this is a case, and to listen to the facts.  The speaking technique of telling the listener to look as it from a different perspective is intrigue to the listener, causing them to want to know why. Throughout the talk he only spoke in true facts, not in stories, he got very excited about what he was saying, making the listener want to hear why he was so enthusiastic. Pink presented facts supporting the idea that people do worse when offered a reward, when people work with the ROWE (Results Only Work Environment) where they work when they want if they want as long as they have a product. If we could bring this system to the rest of society in the United States we can get past Carrot and Stick, fix our businesses, and we can change the world.
