Drive by Daniel H. Pink
Drive looks at the best way to motivate ourselves and others. We are hooked on the notion that it is all about the carrot and stick- this seems to be far from the truth. “The secret to high performance and satisfaction- at work, at school and at home- is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.”
In Drive, Pink examines the three elements of true motivation- autonomy, mastery and purpose. He offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action.
A few years ago Pink also wrote the fabulously successful A Whole New Mind which had a huge influence how we developed business and product strategies at Corban & Blair. We are big fans.
