It is about <strong>energy allocation<\/strong>. And incentives are how you steer energy. But if the rewards stop matching the reality of work, people do too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;People work for money but go the extra mile for recognition, praise and rewards.&#8221;<br>&#8211; Dale Carnegie<br>(He never raised a Series A, but he understood comp plans better than most CFOs.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-misalignment-problem\"><strong>The Misalignment Problem<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In early-stage startups, incentives are usually simple. Equity, hustle, some wins, and a promise that if this works, everyone eats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you scale, complexity creeps in. Teams grow. Roles split. Priorities shift. Suddenly, your old bonus system rewards individual output while you are begging people to collaborate cross-functionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incentives need to evolve. Not just grow in size.
