Description
Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes by Alfie Kohn
A landmark challenge to traditional approaches to motivation, this book argues that attempts to manipulate people with incentives ultimately fail and can even cause lasting harm. Kohn draws on hundreds of studies to demonstrate that rewards and punishments can lead to inferior work and a lack of interest in the task at hand.
Revised for its 25th anniversary, the book offers practical strategies for parents, teachers, and managers to replace carrots and sticks with more effective approaches. With a mix of humor and relatable examples, Kohn presents a compelling argument that is impossible to dismiss.
