Incentives in the workplace

• In many organisations, the opportunities for reward and compensation is only available by climbing higher. Thus, people are incentivised to get into management, even if they don't really want to. By not incentivising alternative paths, companies end up losing great employees.
• Another problem is that compensation is tied to visibility or volume of output, and not quality. We want thinkers, but we don't give anyone the time to think.

We need incentives to explore ideas that respond to the future.
