5' - Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

The source "Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us" examines the flaws of traditional reward-and-punishment systems in the workplace. The author, Daniel Pink, argues that such extrinsic motivators often backfire, ultimately diminishing performance, creativity, and ethical behavior. Pink explores research showing that intrinsic motivation, fueled by autonomy, mastery, and purpose, is far more effective. He advocates for a shift from Type X behavior, driven by extrinsic desires, to Type I behavior, driven by intrinsic desires. The text examines how this shift is already occurring in several companies and offers practical strategies for creating Type I environments at work, in schools, and at home.
