Shocking and refreshing, Dan Pink discusses the difference between rewards for rudimentary cognitive work, and complex cognitive jobs. Acknowledged by the US Federal Reserve Bank and used by software companies including Google and Atlantian to create new innovations, the science of motivation shows how those who are financially rewarded the most are in fact not your top performers, and instead Dan discusses those who can and will be. For the graphically animated version visit http://www.wimp.com/surprisingmotivation/ , or watch Dan Pink's TED Talk to uncover the obvious truths of motivation and management in the workplace. With my %20 time, I think I'd create an off-grid power system for my office that charges by laptop and cellphone. What would you do?

Nice post though.
