How to attribute a Creative Commons photo from Flickr

In times like these when we are asked to do more with less this is something managers should keep in mind. One of the videos I watched is this TED talk by Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation. He talks about the mismatch of what science knows about motivation and what business does. Essentially as long as you’re paying people adequately and fairly, money is no longer the most powerful motivation. Watch the video and maybe buy the book when it comes out.
