Ich muss mir nichts angucken, ich weiß was richtig ist

Everyone trying to better understand this post would probably benefit from more context: http://twitter.theinfo.org/126670488373170180

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a tool that really shows the whole tree of a conversation, so for example http://twitter.com/#!/ipreuss/status/1266540382667... and http://twitter.com/#!/ipreuss/status/1266536145287... are missing

I feel that this post is more inclined to make me fight and defend myself than enter into a productive discourse, so I'm outa here.

Thank you for the comment markusandrezak . Truth seems difficult to find, and what we consider to be the truth, is in the end in most cases our personal opinion only. That is what I wanted to point out.

It is the reason, why we should have a personal and close look on the situation before we come up with a judgment. If we cling to our belief system or dogmas, than we are creating a new orthodoxy instead of bringing a better practice forward. Thinking based on the axioms "pars pro toto" and "ceteribus paribus" didn't do a good job for classic economics and certainly is not going to be helpful in creating the future of work.

I don't have a clear stance on the topic "instrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation" right now. I understand the research on the marginal utility of financial rewards. But this is contrasted by the SCARF model based on neurological research of David Rock (http://bit.ly/ngMZdp), in which status is seen as one of the primary drivers for motivation. Which is also underpinned by the huge success of using gamification approaches in motivating learning and personal performance.

My latest conversation: Müdigkeitsgesellschaft

It's the perfect example of coaches extrapolating the little truth they seem to know to every context. Here: Reward kills extrinsic motivation. Ok, it's hip since Dan Pink. I couldn't even read the book to the end it's so easy to grasp. But I guess even Dan Pink would look into the details, I guess.

But with others, a Pawlowian Reflex is now born. Reward = all intrinsic motivation dead. Always. For ever.

The explanation that the team came up with the idea. The team not lacking intrinsic motivation. Useless, can't be true. (In the little I know about communication the framing says: 'You're dumb, I don't even need the details. I know a little something
ore than you - the rule of Dan Pink and science etc. )

It's the same with sprints are always great. For me this is wha is driving me away from agile, that in millions of discussions I am digging in knee deep a pool of what is basically dogmas. (Own fault though, I should just stop discussing.)

The link on Gemba walks you sent is actually a really brilliant contrast. Womacks book on it is also a great read. Also reading on the great, soft, abstract approach of the Toyota Kata (Rother) is enlightening.

Thx for the hints and the write up.

Danke, nice example - similar to the 'we must ban this movie', 'have you seen it?' 'No, I know it's bad and should be banned' sort of example too.

Der Film ist noch nicht online. Sobald er es ist werde ich ihn mir selbstverständlich anschauen.

Mit scheint, Du bist genau in die Falle getappt, die Du hier anprangerst...
