Motivation

I think I'm right in saying it was Charles Handy (once a top rated business guru, but now a woolly philosopher) who said that capitalism has not yet resolved it's most basic contradiction. The motivation of the employee.

They are forced by their circumstance to pose to their employer, the question, "why must I work harder, to make you richer?"

Until this is resolved, all management theory (such as it is) about employee incentives and motivation, is twaddle.
