> You can't have the super-productivity that comes with intrinsic motivation if the environment is boring and lacks anything that might produce intrinsic motivation. There was a great article about Elon Musk about this from collaborative fund...
Dan Pink wrote a book about this [0] in which he postulates, people are motivated by three fundamental things:
- Autonomy: The urge to be in control
- Mastery: The desire to get better at something
- Purpose: The yearning to do what we do
So, if managers took care of these three for their reportees, according to Dan Pink, they'd be inherently motivated to be doing their best work.
Note that, mastery (great hax0r) and purpose (care about users) need to align (especially true for a small company), which is what TFA may be alluding to in as many words?
