Motivation is intrinsic! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Do not reward Do not reward people for sharing their knowledge

Rewards ,[object Object],To the best of my knowledge, no controlled scientific study has ever found a long-term enhancement of the quality of work as a result of any reward system. Alfie Kohn

Do not reward ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Credit: Alfie Kohn ,[object Object]

If we don’t reward what do we do?

Alfie Kohn ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Incentives, bonuses, pay-for-performance-plans and other reward systems violate this last principle by their very nature!

Love what you do Loving what you do is a more powerful motivator than any goody including money. Alfie Kohn

Bob Buckman Our approach to KM is far more than stick or carrot. "Knowledge Sharing is your job. Do it!" As a reward you may keep your job.
