Out of curiosity what kind of "extra" incentives did you have in the project succeeding (e.g. bonus, promotion, or stocks)? And what kind of incentives did the direct reports have?

At a certain point cash isn’t an incentive. Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose become much bigger rewards. Check out Drive by Daniel Pink.
Good thing AI is taking away two of those at the least. Now companies can just focus on Purpose.
None.

But it was kind of nice being able to pay my mortgage and my kid's college tuition.
