Fed Book Club Featuring “Drive”The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Twitter Summary for Drive

Cocktail Party Summary for Drive• When it comes to motivation, there’s a gap between

what science knows and what business does. Our current business operating system – which is built around external, carrot-and-stick motivators – doesn’t work and often does harm. We need an upgrade. And the science shows the way. This new approach has three essential elements: (1) Autonomy – the desire to direct our own lives; (2) Mastery – the urge to get better and better at something that matters; and (3) Purpose – the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves.

Mastery – the urge to get better and better at something that matters

• It requires the capacity to see your abilities not as finite, but as infinitely improvable

Mastery is a mindset

• It demands effort, grit, and deliberate practice

Mastery is a pain

• It’s impossible to fully realize, which makes it simultaneously frustrating and alluring

Mastery is an asymptote

Purpose – the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves

Within organizations, a new “purpose motive” is expressing itself in three ways:

In goals that use profit to reach purpose

In words that emphasize more than self-interest

In policies that allow people to pursue purpose

on their own terms

Two Simple Questions That Can Change Your Life…..

(according to Daniel Pink)

What’s Your Sentence?

What truly motivates you? Is your purpose so clear that you can describe it in one sentence? Or is it more like a muddled

paragraph?

Was I Better Today Than Yesterday?

Practice makes perfect? To achieve mastery, you have to devote time to practicing

something and getting better at it a little at a time, day by day.
