Description
Autonomy is the first of Daniel Pink's three essential elements of motivation. When it comes to motivation, our current business operating system–which is often built around external, carrot-and-stick motivators–doesn’t work the way our brains do. But Daniel Pink’s research-backed approach, based on four decades of scientific research, addresses the truth about what really drives high performance. Use this flight to help you learn how your team members perceive their ability to be independent in the workplace and surface opportunities for increased self-governance.
