Twitter Summary for Drive
Cocktail Party Summary for Drive• When it comes to motivation, there’s a gap between
what science knows and what business does. Our current business operating system – which is built around external, carrot-and-stick motivators – doesn’t work and often does harm. We need an upgrade. And the science shows the way. This new approach has three essential elements: (1) Autonomy – the desire to direct our own lives; (2) Mastery – the urge to get better and better at something that matters; and (3) Purpose – the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves.

Purpose – the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves

In goals that use profit to reach purpose
In words that emphasize more than self-interest
In policies that allow people to pursue purpose
on their own terms
Two Simple Questions That Can Change Your Life…..
(according to Daniel Pink)
What’s Your Sentence?
What truly motivates you? Is your purpose so clear that you can describe it in one sentence? Or is it more like a muddled
paragraph?
Was I Better Today Than Yesterday?
Practice makes perfect? To achieve mastery, you have to devote time to practicing
something and getting better at it a little at a time, day by day.
