Everyone should know this. I linked both the animated presentation from RSA Animate, and a TED talk from Dan Pink. Go watch the TED talk first, Dan Pink is a really capable speaker.

If you don’t watch this, just remember:

Pay people enough to take the issue of money off the table. Big financial rewards don’t motivate. Give your employees autonomy, mastery and purpose. It’ll make people happy, your business more successful and the world a little bit better.
