RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us
Companies paying ...
Companies paying just enough so that money isn't a distraction and taking 1 day off a quarter to find people coming up with ideas: still sounds like it is motivated by profit. I mean if a business finds it profitable to do those things, they'll do them. Also these types of videos always use too many examples using software companies, software has been growing pretty well recently. Other than that, I liked the video, it was full of useful information.

Hi im german and i only understood a little bit of this video. But its good that some people do interest in things like this. I mean, especially for the people who dont have much money, this video is interesting. And its true, of course!

This, this, this, this. This.
Let not go that far ...
Let not go that far....salary / rewards are good and motivational...but when money become the main purpose then we are not willing to work (some of us). Who has alot of money want freedom, because money give you power and financial security...tend to avoid building stress from work because there is no further reward. This is not a general rule...if we gain "financial freedom" we can improve our performance if we like our job...even if this big change affect our performance for a short time.

Interesting concept ...
Interesting concept, that of purpose-maximisation. In these years where we know that the universe is made out of cells and atoms and we know why things happen and we know that time WILL go on, people are asking themselves what is their purpose in this reality? Some find the answers within religion; to be rewarded after death, others instead try to make a difference in the world and do things that will benefit others in the future. At least, this is my opinion on the matter.

the drawings which are done while listening to these people talk are so incredibly effective at keeping 100% of my attention for the whole video.

9:44 I distinctly heard "be disruptive" -not- be destructive.

This is a breath of fresh air after so much of the individualistic attitude.

It's possible.. you don't even understand it. If someone gives me more money for an easy task, I'll slack.
I believe ...
I believe undeveloped are undeveloped because they haven't got grip on free trade and rule of law. Even China could do much better with some human rights and less corruption. It is the whole package - free trade and people. You cut one you cut both resulting in lesser prosperity. However there will always be some realms poorer than others. Humanitarian aid makes often things worse in the long run and exporting democracy is not easy if even possible. Money represents sum of goods and services.
in my analogy, ...
in my analogy, water is money ... I thought that would be easy to see ... and I agree with the fact that capitalism with free trade is the best we have ... but what you are not including is in the realm of undeveloped ... that is to say, there is a better way, we just haven't figured it out yet
So, so true. I ...
So, so true. I love how well this captivated my attention and made it so easy to not lose focus.
epic!

The ethics of effort and competition are ultimately rewarded with the demolition of solidarity.
Yeah, the known ...
Yeah, the known Universe will end one day. Not sure what you mean by water. Resources are finite, that's right. However invention of new ones is best done under capitalism. Once the oil gets too expensive, investment will go elsewhere - it already started. You can hassle it by gov regulation but can prove to be contra productive - we reduce use of fossil fuels too much and will be stuck with them for longer time.Free trade with fair play (gov oversight) aka capitalism is the best option we have

At first at 1:00 ...
At first at 1:00 the test is described as "higher the performance, higher the pay" but at 1:40 talking about the same test it has flipped to total opposite "Higher the pay, higher the performance." Weird. I would also like to see the actual test records to know what it was really about. Though I totally agree with the conclusion that money is a poor motivator in tasks that require creativity.
