Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people…

Why?

Because its wrong.

Says global influential management thinker & multiple best-selling author. Daniel Pink.

His book ‘Drive’ draws on 50 years of behavioural science to overturn the conventional wisdom about human motivation.

Daniel says. “The problem is that most organisations haven’t caught up to this new (science backed) understanding of what motivates people.”

He believes too many organisations still operate from assumptions about human potential & individual performance, which are outdated & routed more in folklore than in science.

Also believing there’s been a mismatch between what science knows & what business does. Leading Daniel to compile 50-years of research from behavioural scientists to repair this breach.

‘Drive’ looks at the flaws in our reward-and-punishment system, proposing a new way to think about motivation.

Whilst providing real scenarios where individuals & organisations are using the new ways to improve performance & deepen satisfaction.

And Daniel just doesn’t leave you wondering how to work everything out for yourself.

The back end of the book is packed full of resources, to help you flourish and awaken this new type of behaviour and motivation within you & others.

It’s been a great learning, especially chapter 4 (Autonomy), where it details organisations offering autonomy grow 4 times the rate of the control-oriented ones.

‘Drive’ gets a 👍 & ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
