The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Dan Pink, a skillful author about how changing of the world works, posted a very surprising and helpful theory about what really motivates individuals to perform their best in todays work environment.

After doing tons of research through interviews and studies, he finally concluded that, indeed, money are a motivator and they are important if you want your employees to be happy and do their work. However, sometimes a larger reward can actually lead to poorer performance!

What really gets people going and makes them achieve more than they would be normally capable of lies within their feelings about themselves, about you and your company and about what they are doing.



So remember!
Autonomy,
Mastery,
Purpose.

Are you offering enough to your people?
