NEWKID 28,321 Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 2 hours ago, Born Hunter said: Generally, innovators aren't driven by power or money or fame, they enjoy problem solving and creating stuff that no one else has, they're intrinsically motivated. I don't believe that someone who's extrinsically motivated by such things as cash could effectively innovate in the tech world. That's important for managers to understand too. If you are a successful businessman who finds himself in need of tech innovators, it's easy to fall into the trap that the specialists you want are motivated by the same things that people in the commercial domain are motivated by. f***ing tell me about it!!!
