Rethinking the ideology of carrots and sticks

Dan Pink: Rethinking the ideology of carrots and sticks

just watched that, cool video... has nothing to do with electronics, but I would love to have him as my boss... I'm quite worried that I'll be stuck in some Initech type cubicle job, rather than a google type do what you want job.

It does have a lot to do with Open Source and projects like the Arduino and investing efforts where you feel that it matters and that you matter and that you can make informed and important decisions. I am pretty sure that a lot of the guys that have spent 30+ years in the industry developing what have you, feel quite OK and satisfied helping n00bs figuring out how to drive a relay here.

I never understood people saying that a carrot is better than a stick.

Why are people more afraid of being hit by a carrot? :-?
