If you lack true talent in your workforce, you can't make up for it by throwing more people and money at it.

Additionally, if you have true talent in your workforce, YOU LET THEM DO THEIR THING.

It's also an example of when someone with passion is not alienated from the fruits of their labor.

You'll never be able to get an engineer to care about a product as much when at the end of the day the only thing they have to show for it is a paycheck.

Lack of Ownership of the production of your labor is a major problem with motivation in wage labor systems. Especially ones that depend on creativity and problem solving.
