Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates
There is a belief among most people that the best way of motivating themselves and others is with external incentives like money. This is a wrong approach as per the the author, Daniel H. Pink. In the book, the author asks people to forget everything they thought they knew about how people can be motivated at work, at home, or at school. In this trend-setting book, he explains the secret for excellent performance and satisfaction in the present world. According to him, there is a need for people to guide their own lives, to learn, to invent new things, and to perform better by themselves. The disparity between what is known to science and what is practised by business, and how this influences life as a whole, is exposed by Pink on the basis of his extensive research. He explains that though the carrot-and-stick approach was successful in the last century, it is not the right method of motivating people to face the challenges of today. The three aspects of real motivation, mastery, autonomy, and purpose are studied in Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. He suggests techniques that are smart and surprising for implementing these three aspects. As readers browse through the book, they can find the author talking about companies that are engaging in new approaches for motivating their employees. Pink also mentions the entrepreneurs and scientists who follow this approach.
