Description

Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people - at work, at school, at home. It is wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his paradigm-shattering book Drive, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today's world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and the world. Along the way, he takes us to companies that are enlisting new approaches to motivation, and introduces us to the scientists and entrepreneurs who are pointing a bold way forward.

  • I absolutely LOVE this book! Thank you Daniel Pink, for helping me understand why I found it so hard to be motivated by corporate compensation plans and how important the elements of intrinsic motivation (autonomy, mastery, and purpose) are to my well-being.

  • Motivation. The limited circumstances when cash can be a motivator. How it's a de-motivator otherwise. Discusses Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose and how those are the best motivators.

  • Drive is a wonderful book that offers a tremendous amount of insight, not only into what motivates us to do the work we do, but also into organizational behavior and how that can impact our happiness in our work. I learned a lot about myself and why I'm sometimes unhappy about my job. It really brought a lot into focus for me.
