Since I talked about Lehman Brothers in my last post, it seemed appropriate to share a recent Dilbert cartoon.  If you think that reading Dilbert cartoons is very “geeky”, reading it on an incentive blog is probably worse.  I actually saw the cartoon on Paul Hebert’s Incentive Intelligence blog.

Why is Dilbert’s boss wrong about “motivation and fear being the same thing?  To quote Paul:

In the short-term, fear will do wonders - but the long-term impact is very bad - turnover, lack of positive company culture, recruiting problems - you name it.
