Motivating your Team – What Really Works?
April 19th, 2012 by StefanoI found this video which is very interesting on what really motivates us humans…
Turns out what actually is a proven motivator for individuals on complex tasks are:
Autonomy -- The desire to be self directed. (eg. Once a quarter, developers for 24 hours can work on whatever they want with whoever they want but at the end of the meeting they must show the results to the team at the end of the 24 hours.) This has let to more new ideas and software fixes than any other incentive. One single day of autonomy produces results that never emerged before.
Mastery -- The urge to get better at stuff. (eg. People play musical instruments on weekends even though they don’t get paid because it’s fun & enjoyable and it’s satisfying to get better at things.)
Purpose - Look at the amazing, technically sophisticated people that have developed Linux, Apache, Joomla, Wikipedia, etc. All working real jobs and doing all this work outside of work. We are purpose driven just as much if not more than profit driven.

The Ambiguous Copyright Law
September 12th, 2011 by SergioDay 7: Back in the day, the A&R (artist and repertoire) was the producer. They would find the artist and the writer separately and unite them. In this manner, the writer would get his share and the performer would get his, but the producer gets the majority. The late 40’s through the 50’s and 60’s is when the Independent Studio came to be. Magnetic recording was invented and quality recordings were less expensive and much more common. The Beatles revolutionized the A&R separation with their extensive songwriting and performance. In order to get signed and be successful in the music industry you must close deals. You must get the point across to the distribution label that there is money in your music.
