Stephan Goetschius's List: HBR & other business

• Our version is what Stephen Hawking refers to as "model-dependent reality," and Oliver Sacks calls a "statistically plausible representation."
  

• Of everything that can get people deeply, satisfyingly engaged in their work, the single most important is simply making progress on meaningful work.
• One of the most important — and troubling — questions has to do with compensation.
• There are two sides to the progress principle. Yes, progress on meaningful work leads people to feel great. But feeling great leads people to make more progress. We call this the inner work life effect.
• compensation is more than just a paycheck. It is a signal to the individual about his or her value to the organization.
