What happens when you put a hundred-dollar bill on the table every month for showing up? In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy breaks down a factory experiment that exposed something uncomfortable about human nature: the same incentive that pulled dozens of employees out of a slump did nothing for a handful of others, no matter how badly they needed the money. He pairs it with a second story about two team captains who swapped rosters every two weeks, yet one kept winning regardless of who was on his team. Darren argues these aren't stories about motivation at all, and explains why lowering your standards to accommodate the people standing in the back is the worst thing a leader can do.
