I agree with Graham on this one. In addition, while we might not know
what beliefs the people we hire or work with have, we can create
environments which at the very least don't demotivate people and rob them
of taking pride in their work.
If the only rewards you have are money (a carrot) you will find that you
will never have enough carrots, some people don't like the kind of carrots
you have, they have to wait too long for your carrots (the length of the
stick you dangle them from), they want more or better carrots every year,
or some people just get tired of carrots.
Thanks for listening....
