Love this TED talk from Dan Pink on motivation.
He talks about how modern knowledge workers are more successful when motivated by things other than financial incentives.
The things that matter, he describes as
- Autonomy
- Mastery
- Purpose
To be clear, Dan is not saying financial is unimportant. It's important to get fair compensation for work, but after that threshold has been achieved, the autonomy, mastery and purpose are what is important. It's the age old corollary that money can't buy happiness.
Great read for any aspiring entrepreneurs or indie startups thinking about how to attract and retain talent.
