There once was a time in our evolutionary history as a species where we were motivated to acquire or accomplish only what we needed in order to ensure our survival.  Soon the motivation to meet our basic needs was joined by our motivation to exceed them--to have more than we currently needed in order to fulfill desires that went beyond survival.

But there appears to be an additional type of motivation, as well; one that is not stimulated from acquiring anything tangible or receiving some type of extrinsic reward.  This type of motivation defies basic economic rationale.  This type of motivation fuels the unending quest for mastery.

This type of motivation is what Daniel Pink investigates in his book Drive.

Drive goes into detail about this third type of motivation, from giving tips on how to cultivate it within yourself and others to how to keep it alive once you have it.

If you are involved in any type of organization that is needing new leadership or wanting to improve the leadership it already has, Drive is a book that I highly recommend you read.  Additionally, if you are looking to make changes in your own life or are wanting some insight on how to develop the necessary motivation to achieve more, Drive would serve as an excellent resource.

Be great.
