Dan Pink on TED shows us innovative ways to motivate. Traditional rewards aren’t always as effective as we think. According to Dan Pink, the normal role of giving us rewards narrows our focus. According to Dan Pink:
Three Building Blocks to Motivate
- Autonomy
- Mastery
- Purposeful yearning to do what we do for service
Always thought that if someone could MAKE another person motivated, they would have the secret to success. In psychology, motivation is defined as the process that initiates, guides and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. Some people hire coaches to push them, support them to get in shape, lose weight, dissolve their limiting beliefs. But, in the end, motivation falls into our hands (and heart).
