How do you motivate yourself and others? Did your manager get it right by offering you a promotion if you worked all weekend? Or would you have preferred a more relaxed approach, allowing you to work on your own projects and explore your interests, promotion be damned?
In “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us,” Daniel H. Pink explores the science behind motivation, examining how traditional methods have been applied in the workplace and why they no longer suit the modern workforce.
Pink introduces the reader to the three pillars of motivation: Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose. He explains how these elements can be applied to various situations, both in the workplace and beyond.
Whether you are in a leadership position, aspire to be, or are simply curious about what makes people tick, this book is a must-read. Pink’s insights offer valuable guidance for fostering motivation in yourself and others, making it a crucial resource for anyone interested in understanding and improving human motivation.
