Being Leaderless
Altruism + Socialism
Personal sacrifice to benefit others
Everyone receives equal rewards / recognition

People will kick-out liabilities!
not to help the weak
But to make themselves strong
People
Greater Result!
You keep & reward incompetent people in the collaboration
Distorted sense of Altruism + Socialism
Shared Purpose can overcome self-interest
Being Leaderless

Gamification is the use of game design techniques and mechanics to solve problems and engage audiences.
Fun. Addictive.
Achieving goals

Personal Mastery
Earn Incentives
Visible progress
Attract the right people
Motivate tribal leaders to connect
Fair Reward based on contribution
Visibility on collaborative task
Fair incentives based on contribution
Visibility on collaborators
Makes sense because
You collaborate with strong gamers to win
Collaboration is a second nature to gamers
The quests are visible
Strengths and weaknesses are shown
Allows you to build reputation
Leaders will emerge naturally
Everyone gets fair reward
Dude…let me tell you: Gamification is real!!
Task Autonomy
Social Validation
Reputation System
Expertise Search
Task Autonomy
