http://www.ted.com Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward.

I should ad, the real problem is egos! From the board room to the middle managers, the difficulty comes in when they must accept their limited control.How does one solve this issue? Personally I've always felt upper and middle management was nothing more the a bottle neck. Remove them and see what happens! I'm betting amazing things would happen. But will we ever be given the opportunity to prove our point? I am skeptical. Most upper and middle management suffer from ego mania!

Want your mind blown? Forget corporations; imagine a government founded on these principles.
...
...Go ahead, do it.
...
Got something in mind? Now, try to imagine one more future government, this time designed by a generation of people who have grown up under the first government, trusting in intrinsic motivation as solidly as much as today's leaders believe in carrots and sticks. If you're like me, this is when you ask, "would there even have to BE a government?" ...Cheers, folks.

Why do we think these principles apply only to business? I think what he is talking about has a universal value and meaning.
