In the video "Motivation 101" by Heinz from Quantum Kit Careers, the speaker discusses modern approaches to motivating people, contrasting them with traditional methods.
Old-Fashioned Model (Carrot and Stick): Heinz briefly mentions the "carrot and stick" model, a traditional way of motivating people, but dismisses it as outdated.
Modern Motivation: He introduces two more effective approaches:
Increasing Pleasure: Motivating people by enhancing their enjoyment or satisfaction in their tasks or environment.
Reducing Pain: Reducing discomfort, stress, or workload to make tasks easier and less burdensome.
Heinz concludes that by focusing on these strategies—increasing pleasure and reducing pain—there’s no need to rely on outdated methods like the carrot and stick.
