Want to create a more motivating environment?
"The secret to high performance isn't rewards and punishments, but that unseen intrinsic drive - the drive to do things for their own sake, the drive to do things because they matter."~Daniel Pink
Organizations try to motivate people in three ways: the extrensic motivators of fear and rewards, or by tapping into their "want to" - intrinsic motivation. In order to engage the desire of people to perform and pursue your common mission, you must create opportunities for Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose. The blog includes a video of Daniel Pink presenting on this subject at an international TED Conference.
My purpose in writing this blog was to illustrate and provide further evidence for motivating people within organizations. But the same rules apply in families, communities, churches and more.
Where do you need motivated people? How might you apply these basic tenets for creating a motivating environment?

Here are some ways in which you can combat the lazy bear in you and be more "productive."
