Incentives send powerful signals that aim to influence behavior, but often there’s a conflict between what we say and what we do in response to these incentives. The result, mixed signals. And that is the title of my next guest’s new book. He is Uri Gneezy, a professor of Economics and Strategy and Chair in Behavioral Economics at UC, San Diego Rady School of Management, and author of Mixed Signals: How Incentives Really Work.
The Clean Slate Initiative’s vision is that everyone in America should have a fair opportunity to work, have a safe home, take care of their families, and contribute to their community. They seek to achieve that vision by uniting people across the country to ensure that conviction and non-conviction records are no longer a life sentence to poverty, and past mistakes will no longer define our futures.
And here to tell us about this vital work is Sheena Meade, the Chief Executive Officer of Clean Slate Initiative. Welcome to The Business of Giving, Sheena.
The Knight Foundation was established by John S. and James L. Knight Brothers, who led one of America’s largest and most successful 20th century newspaper companies. It was their belief that a well-informed community could best determine their own true interests, and they entrusted future generations of trustees to do just that. For the past 18 years, the foundation has been led by Alberto Ibargüen, who recently announced that he will be stepping down as President and CEO, leaving behind a remarkable record of achievement, and he’s with us now. Welcome back to The Business of Giving, Alberto.
