The triad of money, purpose and respect is worth keeping in mind if you are reevaluating where you currently work, asking if you should stay: do you get paid enough to not think about money, have purpose and respect?

Elsewhere (not sure) I've read, suggests adding the luxuries of autonomy and mastery to the list.

I'm waiting for the "motivate executives" book. It'll probably be a paragraph which starts with "give them more money".
