Daniel H. Pink Książki

Drive to wyjątkowa książka, która inspiruje do przemyślenia motywacji i dostarcza narzędzi do wprowadzenia zmian w życiu. Daniel H. Pink obala powszechny paradygmat dotyczący motywacji, wskazując, że nagrody i filozofia kija i marchewki są błędne. Kluczem do osiągania wysokich wyników oraz satysfakcji w pracy, szkole i domu jest potrzeba kierowania własnym życiem, uczenia się oraz tworzenia lepszego postępowania. Pink, opierając się na wynikach badań naukowych, ujawnia rozbieżność między teorią a praktyką w biznesie, podkreślając, jak to wpływa na nasze życie. Dowodzi, że metody skuteczne w XX wieku są nieadekwatne w obliczu współczesnych wyzwań. W książce omawia trzy kluczowe elementy prawdziwej motywacji: autonomię, mistrzostwo i cel, oferując nowatorskie techniki ich wdrożenia. Przy okazji przedstawia firmy, które stosują nowe podejście do motywacji, oraz naukowców i przedsiębiorców, którzy wskazują drogę ku przyszłości. Drive jest pełna inspirujących pomysłów, zmieniających sposób myślenia i podejścia do życia.

Hard hitting and focused in its attack, this warning shot of a book stands out with its message that those companies that refuse to change their basic, long-held operating strategies will not survive in the rapidly changing world of work. The business hierarchy that seeks to monitor and control workers'' methods and outputs is outmoded, the text claims, and must be changed even at the risk of hurting those who have always benefited from hierarchical the executives and managers. The book further argues that current managing techniques stifle the ability of people and organizations to grow. With innovation and creativity thus inhibited, the days of a company that will not change are numbered. There is a solution, however, and the chapters offer ways to keep talented employees, to serve shareholders, and to base his or her business practices in growth rather than mere efficiency and control. Further, a case study is described, putting a real-life spin on the theories and choices explained within the pages. This timely shakedown of corporate structure strongly makes the case that only the companies that are willing to reenvision themselves now will have a place in tomorrow''s business landscape.

The book begins with a bit of neuroscience tourism to a brain lab that will be extremely familiar to those who read Steven Johnson's Mind Wide Open last year, but while Johnson was fascinated by the brain's internal processes, Pink is more concerned with how certain skill sets can be harnessed effectively in the dawning "Conceptual Age." The second half of the book details the six "senses" Pink identifies as crucial to success in the new economy-design, story, symphony, empathy, play and meaning-while "portfolio" sections offer practical (and sometimes whimsical) advice on how to cultivate these skills within oneself. Pink compares this upcoming "Conceptual Age" to past periods of intense change, such as the Industrial Revolution and the Renaissance, as a way of emphasizing its importance.

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Daniel Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married? Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.
