1. What are your take-aways from this video?
Rewards only work for tasks that require minimal creativity. But when something arises that requires creativity, incentives do not work. In the 21st century, businesses need to be restructured to accomidate 21st centruy needs.
2. What are the speaker's effective speaking techniques?
Strong emphasis and humor. He gets very worked up about his main points. He also bashed Americans constantly to an audience that would find that kind of humor funny. He diffuses opposition by mocking it before people can see it as ligitament.
3. What is his/her presentation style?
Loud and occasionally funny. He starts with a moto and sticks with it, defending it with every example. Towards the end, he recaps and then brings the discussion to a higher level, giving the speach purpose.
4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to you personally? To education? To the world?
Mr. Pink's presentation style is effective and factual. He has a way of grabbing the audience with a strong voice with reasonable points. It also helps to be preaching to the choir. That is to say, Pink was talking to the TED crowd, one that is open to anti right-wing humor. This could be taken to say that it is more effective to give a speach to an audience that is more inclined to believe the speaker. Grades in classes like art should be handled carefully. If effort is put into the project, it should recieve the appropriate amount of credit, rather than grading based on how good the peice actually looks. Pink's theory of de-incentivising the world may be a bad thing. As we've experienced through the years, communism doesn't work, which is essentially what he is preaching. While this incentive business may apply to a small environment, the world would not take well to this type of living.
