#182: Bad for ROI - Bonuses
Manage episode 378120917 series 3194006
We all know that a heft bonus improves productivity. Its a management stable - dangle the carrot and good results just roll it.
But is that really true?
In this episode, I look at the negative consequences of using bonuses for motivation - once again, leaning heavily on the work of Daniel Pink and his book "Drive" to explore the idea of extrinsic and intrinsic motivators - and what works best with modern software development.
