In his new book ‘drive’ Daniel Pink argues that better performance and inner motivation/personal satisfaction exist out of 3 factors, which can release lasting intrinsic energy: 1. Mastery: continuously growing in your profession, hobbies etc;
2. Autonomy: getting the space that you need to be able to shape your work-situation in a responsible way, being self-directive;
3. Purpose: experiencing that your contribution to the company/organization is an essential one, and doing so, realizing a positive contribution to society.
This blog ‘mastery’ will be about the first pillar of the intrinsic motivation.
