What motivates people?

Some stuff to chew on, right? How does this correlate to church leadership?

We spend a lot of time talking about ownership. But I don’t hear a lot of talk about autonomy.

Ultimately, church is just a closed system.

    You need to check out the book Predictably Irrational by David Ariely. It’s a fascinating look at what we do, and why we do it. People will work far harder for social norms than they ever will for a payscale that they believe they deserve. It talks about the difference between social norms and market norms, why we make different decisions in the heat of the moment than we do when calm, etc. Fascinating book, and it’s helping me think through how to motivate people.
