Here are a few key take aways from this short Ted Talk:
Higher incentives led to worse performance
Mechanical skills = the higher the skill the higher the pay
Cognitive skill = opposite3 items:
- Autonomy
- Self direction works really well
- Atlassian (Jira)
- Hackathon
- 20 Percent Time
- I think its something we have tried to encourage with “meeting free fridays”
- ROWE (Results only work environment) – no schedules, just get the work done, meetings optional = productivity up, work satisfaction goes up
- Self direction works really well
