What really drives high performance? In this eye-opening book,
Daniel Pink draws on 40 years of science to offer some surprising
answers. He shows the limits of carrots and sticks and explores the
hard-headed power of autonomy, mastery, and purpose to help us work
smarter and live better
*CHRIS ANDERSON, author of The Long Tail and Free*
As Dan Pink's new book Drive argues, financial incentives are no
longer enough to give a business an edge: in an economy driven by
ideas and creativity, it's more effective to give workers a sense
of purpose, of mastery, of autonomy over their time and their
tasks. Because the only certainty in the decade to come is that
disruptive change is going to continue to catch out businesses that
are unprepared
* * Daily Telegraph * *
Drive drives a stake through the bedrock of classic "if-then"
motivational theory. It demonstrates in an entertaining way how
self-motivated rewards provide their own behavioural alchemy,
exposing the mismatch between what science knows and business
does
*JAMES BORG, author of Persuasion: The Art of Influencing
People*
Drive is the rare book that will get you to think and inspire you
to act. Pink makes a strong, science-based case for rethinking
motivation - and then provides the tools you need to transform your
life
*DR MEHMET OZ, co-author of You: The Owner's Manual*
Pink's ideas deserve a wide hearing. Corporate boards, in fact,
could do well by kicking out their pay consultants for an hour and
reading Pink's conclusions instead
