In this episode, I share my overview of the book 'Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us' by Daniel Pink. The book is focused on motivation and especially highlights the importance of intrinsic motivation as it relates to following through and staying focused on a specific outcome. As an entrepreneur, this content will help you understand how to set meaningful goals and continue to stay motivated through tough times. I also emphasize the concept of mastery and how you can apply this in your business to see longterm success and fulfillment.  Takeaways: Intrinsic motivation is more effective than extrinsic motivation. The three components of intrinsic motivation are autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Mastery is a mindset, a pain, and an asymptote. Identifying what you want to master can help you stay focused in your business. Setting goals with intrinsic motivation and assessing actions can lead to greater progress and fulfillment. Staying motivated requires tapping into your intrinsic motivation and embracing the journey of mastery.

In this episode, Jared and guest host Cody Johnson interview Daniel Pink, author of the best-selling book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. Daniel Pink shares the science behind motivation, and how we can apply the research to education and what really works to motivate student learning.

Humans are naturally creative and driven. Our instinct is to explore and see what we can make. We are inherently motivated to act. That is the default state of a human. So how come so many of us struggle to do the most basic things? Let alone the big things. That's what I want to talk about in this podcast episode today. How to find motivation when you have none, and how you likely got there in the first place. If you feel highly driven and ambitious, or have all but given up on taking action, this episode is for you. Stay tuned. ➡ "Drive: The Surprising Truth of What Motivates Us" by Daniel H. Pink [affiliate]: https://amzn.to/3Z1NUYF

Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction—at work, at school, and at home—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 does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose—and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

From earliest stage start-up to coveted unicorns status, few people have had more of a front-row seat on helping grow businesses than Jenny Herald's guest on this episode of Dreams With Deadlines. Luca Cipriani, who is Head of Architecture and OKR Coach at Jimdo, knows intimately the strategic elements that make scaling ventures fly or fail – and he's sharing his rules of the road. It all starts, he says, with building nimbleness and psychological safety into the blueprint from your start-up's earliest days while keeping goals flexible without losing sight of the core North Star mission.Key things discussed How integrating OKRs into processes from the outset ensures they are foundational at every stage of execution. What the goals should be in building a framework for your start-up journey. Why it's important not to tie key initiatives too closely to key results. Which ingredients successful start-up cultures tend to share in common. What are some predictable barriers to building a healthy workplace – and how to head then off at the pass. The show wraps up with Luca's thoughts on the importance of keeping OKRs simple and giving teams the room to evolve, experiment, iterate and surprise. How integrating OKRs into processes from the outset ensures they are foundational at every stage of execution. What the goals should be at the outset of a start-up journey. Why it's important not to tie initiatives too closely to key results. Which ingredients successful start-up cultures tend to share in common. What constitute the most predictable barriers to building a healthy workplace – and how to head them off at the pass. Show Notes [00:03:13] Getting Started on the Journey: About at what point in scaling Luca Introduces OKRs and other optimization solutions. [00:04:33] What are the goals when implementing OKRs at an early stage: Creating strong alignment from the outset. Instituting systems to measure as much as possible any relevant KPIs. Introducing rational metrics that can anchor young founders as they navigate the high-stakes, high-stress start-up phase. Establishing a framework for what success looks like and means. [00:06:23] Balancing Quality and Quantity: Luca recalls how he has helped start-ups create sustainable objectives through systematic, evolving feedback. [00:09:08] It's a process: Why Luca believes OKR processes must necessarily be iterative and have built into them an assumption that there will be missteps as well as the need for reflections and adjustments along the way. [00:11:13] What it looks like to help founders or teams, at whatever stage, assess on an ongoing basis and roll those learnings into go-forward plans. [00:13:08] Luca explains how he deploys OKRs – and parses outcomes versus outputs and inputs – with early-stage start-ups that don't yet have a well-established baseline. Companies must have a clear North Star. Putting initial metrics in place can be a way to get started getting started putting measurable processes in place. [00:15:12] How Luca helps start-ups move into a scaling phase, deploying OKR processes that keep companies on track with their vision and strategy: Top-up as well as bottom-down collaboration. Intentionally aligned KPIs understood across teams. Cross-department communication to promote consistent global goals. [00:18:33] Why it's important not to tie specific initiatives to key results: It can yoke people to fruitless busy work. It reduces nimbleness. It thwarts creative problem-solving. It discourages experimentation. [00:20:38] Luca shares examples of unconventional wins and success stories worth millions of dollars saved through out-of-the-box flexibility with OKRs. [00:23:36] Going off the Rails: Illustrations (both real-world and in film) of how communication gaps, micromanagement and relentless pressure can take companies off course and away from core values by pursuing the extraction of value at any cost. [00:30:15] About mastery, purpose, autonomy and how flexible OKRs can be leveraged to motivate teams. [00:30:54] Taking a closer look at workplace cultures and the attributes Luca has seen in the unicorns with which he has worked: Maintaining a unity of purpose. Creating an environment in which all team members feel they're contributing. Preserving inter-departmental intimacy and removing barriers to communication. Cultivating agency among teams to be autonomous and work autonomously (i.e. minimize micromanagement). Delegating judiciously – enough but not too much. Emphasizing unity of purpose. Fostering psychologically safety so that teams feel free to seek help and admit failure. [00:36:05] About the concept of aligning around the perfect number of OKR objectives. And that number is? One! Not because there aren't other goals, but because the overarching focus needs to stay on the business's true North Star. [00:37:09] What Luca sees as the most common barriers to building healthy, effective workplace teams: Lack of communication. Toxic behaviors that squelch authenticity and honesty. Siloed teams. Lack of direct interaction and feedback. Lack of autonomy or agency to self-organize, act independently and surprise. [00:40:28] A Round of Quick-Fire Questions for Luca: What's your Dream with a Deadline? To have fewer things to do and to do them faster! What management techniques and practices do you believe have most helped the teams with which you've worked? Attention to detail, staying open-minded, helping people figure out how to raise the bar on quality. What advice would you give to keep teams focused while scaling up and incorporating OKRs?

The author Pink has used scientific studies and facts to assert his point and reveal the reason behind motivation. The older models of motivation described a reward and punishment system, which Pink believes is outdated. This system of motivation ran on the purpose of external factors to motivate us. External factors such as money or fame were the rewards for hard work. It also became the basis of motivation. Money can encourage. Fame can persuade. However, Pink disagrees with this notion since these are extrinsic features that can change us on the inside. So, Pink suggests that the motivation we feel is from within ourselves – intrinsic.

Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people - at work, at school, at home. It is wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his paradigm-shattering book Drive, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today's world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and the world.

His team's work has been accessed and applied by many researchers/writers around the world, including Daniel Pink, best-selling author of-Drive: The Surprising Truth of What Motivates Us. It was a genuine honor to speak with Dr. Ryan in this episode and to share his amazing work.Dr. Ryan's Bio: Richard M. Ryan is an influential University of Rochester Professor Emeritus of Psychology. He is a clinical psychologist and co-developer of Self-Determination Theory, an internationally recognized leading theory of human motivation. He lectures frequently in the United States and aboard on the factors that promote motivation and healthy psychological and behavioral functioning (applied to such areas as work and organizations, education, health, sport and exercise, video games and virtual environments). Ryan is among the most cited researchers in psychology and social sciences today and the author of over 400 papers and books in the areas of human motivation and well-being, including his best-selling book, Self-determination theory: Basic psychological needs in motivation, development and wellness (Ryan & Deci, 2017).

When it comes to motivation, there’s a gap between what science knows and what business does. Our current business system, which is built around an external, carrot-and-stick model (Motivation 2.0), doesn’t work and often does harm. So says Dan Pink, author of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us and guest expert on this Reach Personal Branding Interview with William Arruda. According to Dan, Motivation 2.0 has some big drawbacks: it can diminish performance, crowd out good behavior, and encourage unwanted behavior. In this interview, which will be recorded, you will learn: • Why carrot-and-stick motivators do not work. • What constitutes the third drive of “intrinsic motivation”. • What Type X and Type I behaviors are and why they are important. • How companies can fulfill employees’ needs for autonomy and mastery. • Why sense of purpose is critical to drive. • How traditional rewards can be revamped to align with intrinsic motivation. Forty years of social science research have determined that there is a better motivational model. Bio: Daniel H. Pink is the author of four provocative books about the changing world of work, including the New York Times bestsellers DRIVE and A WHOLE NEW MIND which together have been translated into 27 languages. DRIVE reached every national bestseller list in its first month of publication. Dan’s other books include The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need (written in Japanese comic format known as manga and a BusinessWeek bestseller) and Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working for Yourself, a Washington Post bestseller. His articles on business and technology appear in many publications, including the New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and Wired, where he is a contributing editor. He also writes a monthly business column for the U.K. newspaper, The Sunday Telegraph. Dan has provided analysis of business trends on CNN, CNBC, ABC, NPR, and other networks in the U.S. and abroad. Dan lectures to corporations, associations, and universities around the world on economic transformation and the new workplace. A free agent himself, Dan held his last real job in the White House, where he served from 1995 to 1997 as chief speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore. He also worked as an aide to U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich and in other positions in politics and government. He lives in Washington, DC with his wife and their three children.

Common sense tells us that in order to get someone to do something, or to get them to do it better (faster, more thoroughly, more carefully), you might offer them a reward - or if the offer is already there, increase its size. All kinds of clever-sounding people hold this view - principally economists and management consultants, but more or less anyone else too, as it seems to be so basic and so widespread an idea as to not merit further inspection. Daniel Pink's book Drive introduces us to the research that seems to turn much of this "common sense" on its head. It turns out the rewards such as financial incentives usually make people perform worse. It's not limited to financial incentives (although Pink focuses on these), and not even limited to people - the initial example given is of how giving contingent food rewards to monkeys makes them worse at learning how to open latches than literally just leaving the monkeys alone. In place of the carrots-and-sticks theory, Pink introduces us to a new theory, which is about 40 years old and yet still isn't all that well known. According to MAP theory (not the only name), the most important components of motivation are mastery, autonomy, and purpose. The author explains to us in more detail quite what each of these mean, but in short, people are motivated to do things when they can apply their existing expertise and develop it further; choose what they get to do, when, how, and with whom; and do something that they think is important, and/or connects them to other people. One of the reasons that it's taken so long for the ideas to catch on is the prevalence not only of the "rational agent model" of economics, but also of the psychological field of behaviourism. Behaviourism, along with psychoanalysis (a very different and mostly incompatible worldview), was the leading theory in psychology in the first half of the 20th century, and remains influential today. It turns out that behaviourists aren't completely wrong that rewards can motivate behaviour, but it also turns out that rats pushing buttons isn't the same as humans doing creative work. Separating out when using rewards is a good idea and when it isn't is an important question, and one that Daniel Pink also addresses. Behaviourism is a huge topic in its own right, and we will have to tackle it in a separate episode (or three). For now, though, Daniel Pink's book gives us a fascinating and, to be honest, heartening new way of looking at human motivation and behaviour. Enjoy the episode.
