#3: Daniel Pink

1. What are your take aways from this video?  
    My take aways from this video are many emotions, especially from Daniel Pink's quote, "The mismatch between what science knows and what business does." This quote makes me think about whether or not I believe in more science or if I am effective in a business sort of way. There isn't a need to take sides at all, but in a way it makes me wonder if there are two groups in a sense that you may be one who is very logical and uses straightforward direct facts or one who uses information to make progress. I take that away from this video. 


  2. What are the speakers effective speaking techniques?      
 The speakers effective speaking techniques include humorous jokes to make the audience more comfortable and many jokes. He also made his voice louder on important parts so that it emphasizes the point. 


    3. What is his/her presentation style?      
Daniel Pink's presentation style includes many slides and many important key points in order for the audience to get a clear picture/understanding on what topic is being presented. 


    4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to your personally? To education? To the world?
There are many things that matter from this video. One is the fact that there is a fine line, or mismatch, between what science knows and what business does. When a person has a narrow focus, he/her will work well. This also ties in with rewards. Education and the world needs to understand, and I do too, that there are different tactics for different forms of work and how to get said work done. to do so we all must realize that we cannot entice others with sweeter carrot or threaten with a sharper stick, but we need to work on understanding certain people's focus so that the work can be done efficiently. 
        
Notes:
  1. the candle problem
  2. human motivation: extreient and intreient. mismatch between what science knows and what business does
  3. simple set of rules and a clear destination
  4. narrowed focus= work well
  5. Reward narrows our focus
  6. the higher the pay the better the performance in matience
  7. higher incentives led to worse performances
  8. entice with sweeter carrot or threaten with a sharper stick
  9. autonomy: engagement=self motivation
  10. science: naturla parts of business barley work
  11. if then reward destroy cretivity
