Some notes on rewards motivations.

# 1 Money/reward motivators only work for direct, narrow focus of work

# 2 if-then reward often destroys creativity

# 3 Secret formula on performance, unseen intrinsic drive, for own sake and cos it matter.

Intrinsic motivator vs extrinsic motivator

Autonomy, mastery & purposes vs carrot & stick

ROWE - Result Only Work Environement
Strategy where employees are evaluated on performance, not presence. Focus on result only
