Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is there ever a time when rewards are appropriate?
2. I need people to achieve goals and meet deadlines. How do I make expectations clear without putting people into an imposed motivational outlook?
3. Why do you refer to suboptimal and optimal motivational outlooks instead of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation?
4. Are there clues in people's language about their motivational outlook?
5. The younger generation's values drive me crazy. They'd rather be online with their friends than work because their parents will pay their bills. How can I motivate this generation?
6. Why do you say contests don't work? People seem to respond to them and contests can grab people's attention to something they might not have had an initial interest in exploring.
7. Why isn't competition a good thing? Great athletes chefs and salespeople seem to thrive on competition. Can't it bring out the best in people?
