Dan Pink - Drive

[Pejorativez]

To follow up my previous comment: wouldn't you work your ass off if you knew that you'd get 3 months salary for 1 week? Even in a creative profession.

[Pejorativez]

My main gripe with this video is that Dan seems to be skimming over the issues/research and jumping to conclusions. E.G. some of our main motivators/drives are gathering resources and raising offspring safely. So, when he says punishment doesn't work because the parents were late even with the fine, he didn't consider the fact that maybe 1: the fine was too small (would they be late if we were talking about 200 dollars?) 2: what if the punishment was getting the kids kicked out of the daycare?

The third drive is what’s motivating me to watch this.

Fan of Pink and what he stands for and believes in terms of business. It may not work in every workplace but it works in many that try giving the autonomy, mastery, and purpose to their staff.

I would like to have the pleasure of writing or sharing a stage with this man.

Take a look at a my 2 min. clip from a recent business group motivational speech I gave in Birmingham, Alabama to over 200 major business leaders @ iwillmedia on youtube.

[iWillMedia]

Being a business owner, consultant and speaker myself, I have introduced these principles to companies from tiny start-ups to giants in fields from magazine publishing to health club management, to sales, I find Daniel Pink to be absolutely right. Money matters but creativity does not stem from it. The old way of management is broken. Businesses need to embrace these new methods and prove to themselves that it does work!

Intelligence is hot. In fact it makes this somewhat average looking fellow very hot.

[TiffanySouthall]

I love your connection to science and psychology and business your mind is amazing!

[akirosette]

the audio is too quite

maxed with my speakers it is barely audible.

[mary86]

Interesting.  Reminds me a lot of Alfie Kohn's book, Punished by Rewards. It's definitely worth a read!

[Neanderthalcouzin]

Easily some of the most important information in applied behavioral economics I've heard. As far as I can see this is very on point, very insightful. I think Dan Pink is on to something, and it's exciting.

[derghb]

To clarify though, I don't think the entire seminar or his point is wrong. It's just that the test has to be the same for both if you are going to compare the results, pretty simple really.

[derghb]

What I don't get is how they have a different test when they test mechanical skill, rudimentary cognitive tasks and when they have the test of higher than rudimentary cognitive skill.

He says the people got a reward based upon their performance in the first test.

But in the second test they were offered their reward before performing the task? And was expected to do better when they already knew what they were getting paid?

Now, I'm a socialist personally, but I still think this was wrong.

[rshinra]

@derghb:  he said it that way, but the way it's meant to be taken is, the people knew the rewards before they took the test.

[krptd9]

@derghb The second test conducted in India was done with the same parameters as the first test done in the US. The only difference is that the monetary rewards were more significant in the Indian experiment because $50 USD to a person in India can purchase a lot more compared to what can be purchased in the US.

[damianpodcast]

Dan Pink has come up 3 times in the last day from different directions. Science and economic studies that explain the conflicts I have been seeing in business and organizations for decades. I have a whole new paradigm to work from and share with others.

A Question - what is better?

1) To watch 'TED' type (RSA, BookNotes, TED, Charlie Rose, etc) talks of thought leaders that are the distillation of their work after presenting it 100's of time.

2) Or to read the source work with all depth?

[simulacrae]

Good video, but the audio is unbearable, the distortion is almost painful to hear whenever Dan becomes a but too dynamic...

[damianpodcast]

@simulacrae It gets much better after a few minutes and the pain becomes tolerable. Some great ideas make it worth wading through.

[Sicueft]

Sort of beating a dead horse, but nonetheless in a way that can grab other people's attention.

[skaruts]

Blender 3D is another great example of people doing extraordinary things for other people for free.

[skaruts]

I have worked at a Hotel for almost 3 years, (I don't believe in Hotels, btw) and what I can say is that I never felt good with it. I worked hard for about 6 months, despite the pay wasn't so great as it should be for a 4 stars hotel (and later as 5 stars the pay was not any better) but the biggest turn down I faced there was that I never got any recognition for what I did well. Bosses always seemed to focus only on what we failed doing. That has always been my biggest incentive: Recognition.

[daimyo21]

@skaruts I totally agree, I worked at a corporate ran restaurant who hired managers from seniority and not actual trained management. These people would focus in on anything negative that was done and very little on the positives. Recognition in my opinion falls under purpose. If we do something very well and are recognized for it. I think this sense of belonging builds up in us of doing something better that people appreciate and the purpose in which we do it becomes more satisfying.

[vandyishere]

Very interesting concepts - helpful to understand motivation and how to engage employees - Challenges the commonly held misconceptions on what motivates people. Thank you.

[ramonsilva1]

I'm trying to show a new horizon to my workmates, a diferent paradigm, but most of them do not speak enlglish or understand it. I think that this kind of provoking videos should have subtitles in brazilian portuguese!

Anyways - I'm going to translate the RSA Animate of this issue and broadcast in my company.

Great Job!

[intermender]

Accessible, clear, thought provoking. Also great questions by that other guy!

[theRSAorg]

@intermender Other guy is Matthew Taylor - CE of the RSA. Maybe check out his RSA Animate Left Brain, Right Brain if you liked his questions? It's on the RSA Channel under RSA Animate playlists. Thanks for the feedback - really appreciate it. Becca :)

[intermender]

@theRSAorg cool, thanks ;)

[bugsymj7]

much respect! you're amazing!

[Dan3099]

daniel pink looks like bob saget

[prosumero]

this interesting video should have subtitles in the main global languages (spanish, chinese, france, german,...)

[telanis9]

@prosumero either try youtube's auto-caption stuff or do it yourself. translation ain't easy and thus isn't free

[waXpoet]

@prosumero also, volume leveling!!

[TheRealXenon]

@prosumero That is may be true, but german, france, spains should understand this?

[prosumero]

@TheRealXenon americans will have to understand chinese videos too, but subtitles would help, would'nt?

[prosumero]

@TheRealXenon hence, americans should also have to understand chinese videos, souldnt they? For sure, but they will understand it much better with subtitles
