Notes: Dan Pink’s Drive. Notes from the book “Drive”… | by carnivas | Little world of carnivas | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it
The most important takeaway from the first few chapters is the new terminology of Type-X and Type-I people. You would have heard about Type-A and Type-B personality types, the need to have a mix of both personalities etc. i.e. have a balanced amount of impatience and temperance. The author makes another classification here and calls it Type-X and Type-I behaviors. Behaviors that need extrinsic motivation are Type-X (Extrinsic) and behavior that comes from an intrinsic motivation in people are Type-I (Intrinsic). You would have also read about Theory-X and Theory-Y about managing people.

Mixing the two, you could say Theory-X assumes all people exhibit Type-X behavior by default so need carrot/stick mechanisms (extrinsic motivation) to make them work; Theory-Y assumes all people exhibit Type-I behavior by default so we need to provide them the right environment their intrinsic motivation to kick-in.

Aside: I should say that Theory-X/Y and Type-X/I get a bit confusing. I guess the Type-X, Type-I terminology has not become as popular because of this.

The main point of the book is: We should all cultivate more Type-I behavior. Breaking that down, there are 3 elements that produce Type-I behavior: Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose.

Motivation - Pink (Three Elements of Intrinsic… | Business | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it
Daniel Pink is a modern writer on business & management, with a strong focus on the changing nature of work and the workplace. His book - Drive: the Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us - was published in 2009 and very quickly became a bestseller with its focus on the importance and effectiveness of three intrinsic elements to motivation at work: autonomy, mastery and purpose.
Mickael Ruau's insight:

According to Pink, autonomy is the desire to direct our own lives. Pink argues that allowing employees autonomy runs counter to the traditional view of management which wants employees to "comply" with what is required of them.

However, if managers want employees to be more engaged in what they are doing (and they should - as tasks become more complicated) then allowing employees autonomy (self-direction is better).

Pink provides some examples of what he means by autonomy, summarising them into four main aspects: time, technique, team and task

RAMPS - Mastery is Opportunity to Grow | GeePawHill.org

RAMPS - Mastery is Opportunity to Grow | GeePawHill.org | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it

RAMPS: M is for Mastery, the sense that my work is actively helping me grow, along some dimension I value.

When my motivational spectrum calls for a high degree of mastery, I do my best work when it is just a little over my head.

People sometimes confuse the drive for mastery with a drive to know everything. But it’s not the knowing, per se. It’s not catching the skill, it’s chasing the skill.

My own spectrum rates mastery the highest, 9 on the scale of 10 for me. I am never more driven than when I’ve got some challenge I think I can do but I’m not sure I can do.

Book Summary: Drive by Daniel H. Pink

Book Summary: Drive by Daniel H. Pink | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it
The Book in Three Sentences

Much of what we know about motivation is wrong.
Tasks are either: (1) Algorithmic—you pretty much do the same thing over and over in a certain way, or (2) Heuristic—you have to come up with something new every time because there are no set instructions to follow.
The carrot and stick approach to motivation is flawed.
Mickael Ruau's insight:

The Five Big Ideas

  1. Researchers have found that extrinsic rewards can be effective for algorithmic tasks—those that depend on following an existing formula to its logical conclusion. But for more right-brain undertakings—those that demand flexible problem-solving, inventiveness, or conceptual understanding—contingent rewards can be dangerous.
  2. Goals that people set for themselves and that are devoted to attaining mastery are usually healthy. But goals imposed by others can sometimes have dangerous side effects.
  3. We have three innate psychological needs—competence, autonomy, and relatedness.
  4. Research shows that the secret to high performance isn’t our biological drive or our reward-and-punishment drive, but our third drive—our deep-seated desire to direct our own lives, to extend and expand our abilities, and to live a life of purpose.
  5. The new approach to motivation 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.

Les 7 défauts de la carotte et du bâton :

ils peuvent tuer la motivation intrinsèque
ils peuvent réduire la performance
ils peuvent empêcher la créativité
ils peuvent décourager une bonne conduite
ils peuvent inciter à tricher
ils peuvent engendrer une accoutumance
ils peuvent favoriser un raisonnement à court terme

Cela étant dit, la carotte et le bâton n’ont pas que des défauts. Lorsque la tâche est mécanique (pas de passion, pas de réflexion), plus la récompense est importante, plus nous sommes performants. Si malgré tout vous souhaitez offrir une récompense, suivez une règle simple : ne l’annoncez pas avant, n’en faites pas une condition. Donnez-là après.
