About this listen

A book that will change how you think and transform how you live.

Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people – at work, at school, at home. It is wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his paradigm-shattering book Drive, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today’s world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and the world. Along the way, he takes us to companies that are enlisting new approaches to motivation, and introduces us to the scientists and entrepreneurs who are pointing a bold way forward.

Initially bought thinking it may be about personal motivation. Summing up the desire to begin a task for example. But the book mainly focuses on motivation in the business and working world.
The topics raised are fascinating and worth trying to put into practice. Recommended for progressive thinking managers.

Really enjoyed this one and I'll be making some changes in the way I lead in my company because of it. I've thought for a while that motivation 2.0 was old hat but never had anything to back that feeling up or anything to replace it with. Now I do.

Great for businesses large and small
