They gave them these challenges and they said to incentivise their performance they gave them three levels of rewards. So,if you did pretty wellyou got a small monetary reward, if you did medium well you got a medium monetary reward, andif you did really well, if you were one of the top performers you got a large cash prize. We've seen this movie before, this is essentially a typical motivation scheme within organisations; we reward the very top performers, we ignore the low performers
What are we to do with this piece of information?
- First, Pink is pretty much setting up our common knowledge. We, like the researchers, expect what's described here. We all believe that monetary rewards (money) is a good incentive. No one would argue against this idea. So why do Pink bring this up if it's common knowledge? In order to stress that money as a motivation is not as predictable as we believe it to be (here he is setting up the REAL topic he has in mind)

I want to give you two that call into question this idea that if you reward something you getmore of the behaviour you want; if you punish something you get less of it
What is Dan Pink doing here?
He is setting up the conversation about motivation to his listeners so that he can begin discussing our understanding about motivation. Like an intro paragraph to a college essay, he is giving us the background information necessary to understand his lecture. Without a common understanding, there is not starting point to discuss.
