Most of us believe that the best way to motivate ourselves and other is with external rewards like money-- the sticks and carrot approach. That's a mistake says Daniel Pink. The secret to high performance and satisfaction-- at home, at school, and at work-- 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.
Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business (and education) does—and how that affects every aspect of our lives. He demonstrates that while the old-fashioned carrot-and-stick approach worked successfully in the 20th century, it's precisely the wrong way to motivate people for today's challenges.
