Dan Pink’s articles on business and technology have appeared in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company and Wired. He worked previously as Vice President Al Gore’s chief speechwriter from 1995-97, and before that as an aide to Secretary of Labor Robert Reich. (Source)
Recently Dan Pink gave this talk at TED. If you manage people you must hear his perspective. It makes perfect sense, is clearly presented, and illuminates why…
- There is a mismatch between what science knows and what business does. (This might be why we’re in the mess we’re in.)
- Rewards and incentives of the 20th century don’t work in the 21st century.
- Stick and carrot ways of engaging employees is a de-motivator.
- You don’t need to pay the big bucks to get breakthrough performance and creativity from your staff. There is another way that works better!
- Transformational trainings like those produced by Triad West are a must-have way of engaging and rewarding employees. (Dan Pink didn’t say that but when you get to the end of the video you’ll see why I say that and mean it.)
Now that you’ve read the post, watch Dan. Let me know what you thought about his video and how you’re incorporating newness and transformation into your employee interactions. Thanks.
