Dan Pink talks about our motivations as creators, employees, innovators, and contributors to the world, and why money is definitely not the answer. Bonus, there are cute, little pictures to keep us visual people from succumbing to ADHD.

Pink gives the example of Australian software developer Atlassian, but we have seen many-a-company veer towards a direction of out-of-the-box productivity: Facebook, Google, Mozilla, and many others all treat their employees with the respect that each one of them hold the next killer app. So why not do their employees dry-cleaning for free?

As a small, new company, OLH tries to constantly use our newness and smallness to our advantage. We don’t have on-site laundry (or on-site, for that matter), but we are still nimble and naïve enough to blaze a trail for a new type of company, learning from the mistakes of dinosaurs past.

Our goals for 2010:

+ get Incubator Projects up to 25% of our time spent (ultimate goal of 50%)
+ offer health-care plans for The Cooperative (even though we are all technically freelancers)
+ donate 1% of all revenue (through a partnership with 1% Foundation)

Thanks for the tremendous amount of support and praise we have received thus far, we welcome any other ideas to keep us keeping on.
