Culture evolves to fit incentives (Zhou)

People have reasons for their behavior. What structural elements of your environment are causing people to act in a certain way in your company? What can you do to create new incentives or remove old ones?

Potential pitfall incentives:

• Rewarding individual performance over anything else
• Rewarding short-term gains over long-term investments
• Rewarding a whitewashing of conflict
• Rewarding the squeaky wheel
