Daniel Pink response

Daniel Pink talked about drive and how it affects us. With the candle problem you are driven to get the candle on the wall but to do that you need to think outside the box to find the solution. The rewards sometimes offered destroy the creativness that is needed to complete the task. This is because when a goal is offered for a simple task we will do fine but if a task is more complex then the reward makes us do worse. This is becasue the reward makes us focus so much on the goal that we lose the big picture and therefore lose the ability to see the solution. But when a system like the ROWE is used the focus is big and you can do what you want to as long a you do your job. This leaves a lot of space for creativity and open-end work which makes us better at a job because we are not focused so much on a goal and a schedule and a deadline that can cloud our focus.
The way that Daniel Pink talked was good becasue he had a lot of facts on his ppt and kept the presentation lose. He had a good tie in with his opener and that made the talk better because of the connection.
