Daniel Pink
Best-Selling Author
Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us and A Whole New Mind
#educonfpink
The carrot and stick approach of motivating employees is so last century. Best-selling author Daniel Pink shows that for 21st century work, we need to upgrade to autonomy, mastery and purpose.
For generations, we’ve believed that the best way to inspire performance is through external rewards, financial and otherwise. In his latest New York Times best-selling book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, Daniel Pink turns this conventional wisdom on its head. In this groundbreaking work, Pink examines 40 years of research in behavioral science that calls into question how we run our businesses, our schools and many aspects of our lives. Also the author of A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Rule the Future, Free Agent Nation and The Adventures of Johnny Bunko, Pink’s thinking is reshaping how organizations operate and how individuals navigate their careers. He is currently a contributing editor at Wired and his articles and essays have also appeared in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review and Fast Company. He is a frequent guest on television and radio programs, and a consultant to companies large and small on human resources, communications and innovation.
