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.



And that is why a lot of managers suck, particularly Malaysians, since I am a Malaysian myself.

What are your views?

Nope, you are wrong. Haven't you heard that the experiment was also tested in India, and the results are the same? And the candle experiment mentioned it very well that while traditional rewards can be good, but it limits creativity and productivity for jobs which do not require a tunnel vision method of resolving a task, which is the very nature of today's many middle income occupation.

Watched twice and still don't understand. Perhaps you need to improve your English before watching the video first?

If you have watched, and listened, nobody is trying to fit you into the category. He is speaking on behalf for white collar, middle-class employees.

You self-proclaimed your intelligence to be valid, but you disallowed it to be questioned? How different are you to those who doesn't even know nor admit that they have a chance they may be short-changed with moments which questions your intellect because they are strongly governed by ego and their insecurity of being stupid , and yet you, who self-proclaimed to be intellectual by sugar-coating the accusation that your command of English is poor, and do not know any better?

I know, that I know, that I don't know, but you? You don't even know of what you do not know. And that is no better than an African-American rappers who brags to the world that they are unstoppable, and yet still get caught by the police.

Tsk tsk tsk.

While I am pinpointing your lack of attention and ignorance towards the video which leads you to think it is stereotypically American, you retorted and became defensive how intellectual you actually are, and effectively dragging yourself into series of other defensive acts to protect your intelligence, as if it is fragile.

Insecure much?

How old are you?

In case your intelligence didn't tell you, the candle "challenge" is actually an experiment to represent as an analogy to most white collar, middle income earners.

So when you asked me, "Have you taken the candle challenge yourself?", I shook my head.

My ego? Every post you have entered gets corrected by its foundation due to either your own misunderstandings, and simply by your own ignorance.

Reply to this if you will, I have no time for kids.

I AM a middle income earner, genius.

You don't get it. The test IS MEANT for average income earners. Understand? How did your own challenge which you have took, and whatever you have derived effect anything to do with the experiment?

And how am I being racist when I am only attributing things to you individually? Are you really that stupid?
