    The document discusses the carrot and stick approach to motivation. It was developed in the 1800s by Jeremy Bentham and uses rewards ("carrots") and penalties ("sticks") to induce desired behavior in employees. The approach motivates employees to improve performance by rewarding good behavior and compliance while penalizing bad behavior and non-compliance. However, overreliance on external motivators can lead to unethical behavior, so companies need a balanced approach using both internal and external motivators for long-term success.
