What motivates us? Money? Not really!
Besides Industrial Design specifically, I tend to get involved and have a passion for issues on operation,process improvement, and workplace environmental impact. As designers it is our job to always find the faults in what exists so we can find a better way to create or do something. I love some of the points that this video brings up about the change in the workplace and how companies like Google are redefining effective ways to motivate their employees.
This very well done ten minute video by Daniel Pink cites 50 years behavioral science research demonstrating that monetary compensation can only get limited results out of people. What really motivates is mastery of skill and the creation of a “larger” purpose that extends past 40 hours of week at work.
An amazingly simple and entertaining illustration accompanies.

I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I do not know who you are but definitely you are going to a famous blogger if you are not already
Cheers!
