YouTube - RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

I get this. I think the underlying principles at work is a kind of volunteers dilemma.

When there is a clear incentive for One person, the first thought of everyone else is that: I don't want to compete. In The wisdom of crowds, dynamism and well thought out creativity can only come from a group of people willing to take each others ideas and improve on them.

A Single Incentive basically dis-incentives everyone else. Who wants to be "used" to get the bonus. The "met-needs" really works is because the incentive is in building a better work environment with their own hands. Incentive is in making their Job easier (Kaizen).

For me, learning this, I can see a lot of problems someone who doesn't understand the Cognitive Bias concepts that will occur trying to do this. One particular problem as people who don't see this as an opportunity and a chance to slack off, second is that people might be feeling manipulated where the company is trying to get a free ride, seeing as an excuse to pull the rug from under everyone by removing pre-existing partially-working incentive schemes, people who try to apply it to their company when there is a mixed composition of jobs and interests.

Even the Best Ideas, moving from the worse ideas require some time to adjust. Also consider carefully the context of the other examples and what kind of environment.


The Team Cooperative. What some Psychopaths/Sociopaths don't know about unwritten social contracts that thread a community together is that, what is invested in the collective returns quite readily in non-monetary forms. Groups of Peers have more strength than a group with a leader and followers, when as individuals the Group of Peers become emotionally mature and sophisticated. An unlike "socialist" group, accountability is in the inherent transparency in the group and people who are invested to maximize the internally perceived fairness.
