What motivates you?

What motivates you to perform at your best, innovate or to keep on going to the gym every week. I wonder if you reward yourself or if there is something more than that that supports you to achieve your goals?

Rewards or punishment surprisingly only work in a very narrow band of circumstances. However, what motivates us is the drive to do things for our own sake and the drive to do things because they matter to us. In his talk about what motivates us Daniel Pink tells us how three intrinsic values (autonomy, mastery and purpose) can drive performance and fulfillment.

Whether you are a small business owner, a parent, employee or just want to stay motivated to achieve your goals, this is a powerful and enlightening speech.

Watch Daniel Pink on TED (based on his book: “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us”)
