Have you ever thought about what makes us do things…motivation? What is the secret of getting humans to act? Whether you question this for yourself or are leading a group of others, this remains an area that we all can benefit from further understanding. Today I continue Read to Lead: Between the Lines, a series of shorty episodes where I highlight books that transform how we lead and talk about the future of work. This week, I am breaking down the psychology of motivation in Daniel H. Pink's transformative book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. I explain how outdated the "carrot and stick" approach is to motivation and highlight three key elements to focus on —autonomy, mastery, and purpose—and how they can transform workplaces that adopt this approach. Discover how these principles not only reshape the way we lead and work but also provide a blueprint for improvement in your personal and professional life. Whether you're leading a team or striving for self-improvement, this episode offers insights that can transform how you approach work and life and strive for fulfillment. Tune in to learn all about it..right now!
