TRAVIS: TIME TO DECONSTRUCT INCENTIVE PROGRAMS

“I just started kind of thinking about like, Well, how do we like, deconstruct these crappy incentives, like President's Club, for example, it's like three months into an annual incentive, you already know who's gonna win, and so demotivates 80% of the team.”
