rewards by their own nature narrow our focus

if then rewards work well for easy problems

as long as mechanical skills - higher reward better performance
even rudimentary critical thinking - rewards led to lower performance

mismatch between what science knows and what business (school) does

don't do more of the wrong things...
1) autonomy
2) mastery
3) purpose

notes from same talk over a year ago

in rowe - people don't have schedules.. don't have to show up at all, meetings are optional, productivity/engagement/mastery goes up, turnover goes down

science confirms what we already know in our hearts.
