Editor's Notes
- I want to share some ideas about what i’ve been reading recently Drive, The Surprising truth about what motivate us, dan pink Show of Hands who has read the book.
- I will have to familiarise you with the terminology Dan uses: Upgrade - he uses an analogy of an operating system for the motivational drives installed on people
- At the heart of Motivation 2.0 are two simple ideas Reward an activity and you’ll get more of it - Punish an activity and you’ll get less of it
- Functional Fixedness Simplify the problem and display the box and the pins as 2 separate problems and it becomes a problem ‘more suitable’ to motivation 2.0
- Rewards in motivation 2.0 make people perform worse
- Back to marcus example
- Built upon your Intrinsic Motivations People need to be autonomous and self directed: Task, Time, Team, Technique Mastery begins with Flow - optimal experiences when the challenges we face are perfectly matched to our current abilities and extend us ‘just enough’ Mastery is a mindset; see your abilities as infinitely improvable, it demands effort grit and practice Is an asymptote, impossible to realize, frustrating and alluring
- Sky do this Atlassian is another great example Thinking back to Motivation 2.0 Why is OpenSource so successful - because it depends upon intrinsic motivations A survey of developers contributing to open source said “I do it because of how creative i feel while working on the projects” “Always finding flow; the fun of mastering the challenge of a given software problem” “The desire to give a gift back to the programming community”
- How and in what way? Have I been able to persuade you about the gap between what science knows and what business does? Edward deci - problems with puzzles - paying on group for the puzzle and not paying the other - leaving the room and monitoring what people were spending there time on Day 1 v Day 2 v Day 3 The distinction between routine and non-routine work. How much of your work is non routine?
