Below is a great video from Dan Pink.
In it, Dan presents some excellent research into motivation which will help leaders decide what to be clear about if they're trying to encourage good performance. A lot of it ties in with the earlier post on Clarity Rules: Why clearly linking reward to your change programme is harder - and easier - than you thought.
What's more, Dan's animation is also a terrific example of communicating something complex in a very understandable way.
Have a watch.

About Me
- Greg Stewart, Clarity Rules
- There is a great movement afoot: Tribes have been started by the likes of Garr Reynolds of Presentation Zen, Nancy Duarte of Slide:ology, Dan Roam, Barbara Minto, Chip and Dan Heath and many others, and more and more, their work is having an effect on all of us: We are improving the way we think and present. Clarity Rules is a call to arms in support of this growing movement. Its goal is to spread this good thinking. To be another voice insisting that clarity is an absolute necessity. To unpick tangled thinking. To smooth out waffle. To kill off bad presenting altogether. I want Clarity Rules to be a place where everyone can come and share their stories of clarity winning over obscurity, and to make sense of how it can be done.

eg, this is a great video. RSA does an excellent job at bringing a talk to life in images. If you haven't seen it yet, you should check out Dan Pink's TED talk on this same subject
ReplyDeleteI believe that Pink's book "Drive" is relevant for public speakers as well. In case you and your readers are interested, you can check out my review of the book and thoughts on why it is relevant for public speakers: http://wp.me/pwfa1-u7

WOW!
ReplyDeleteThat is fascinating.
It also applies, I believe to solopreneurs.
It's not all about the money!

Great post. That is a very well-presented video. There are different reasons why people are motivated. It may be job satisfaction, work environment, family, etc. There are also some who have unusual motivators. These motivators differ from one person to another. It is better if the managers know this about their employees, so they would know how to make them happy. Happy and motivated employees tend to increase productivity.
ReplyDeleteI agree - sometimes you come across a bit of thinking and it just FEELS right.
