Daniel H. Pink, who previously outlined a new paradigm for the 21st-century business brain in his bestseller A WHOLE NEW MIND, argues that our models for creating incentive, best represented by the old notion of "the carrot and the stick," are as antiquated as the donkey they were originally meant for. Pink shows that purely financial motivations worked well for the repetitive tasks associated with the assembly-line production of the 20th century, but argues that today`s technology-driven business world calls for problem-solving and creative thinking, which are actually discouraged by the former model. Pink shows that today`s achievers are inspired by the intertwined concepts of autonomy, mastery, and purpose, and he uses decades of scientific research to convincingly back his claim. Pink provides a specific toolkit for managers to implement his ideas, and examines some contemporary businesses that are flourishing thanks to their mastery of creative motivation.

According to Pink (A Whole New Mind)," everything we think we know about what motivates us is wrong. He pits the latest scientific discoveries about the mind against the outmoded wisdom that claims people can only be motivated by the hope of gain and the fear of loss. Pink cites a dizzying number of studies revealing that """"carrot and stick"""" can actually significantly reduce the ability of workers to produce creative solutions to problems. What motivates us once our basic survival needs are met is the ability to grow and develop"," to realize our fullest potential. Case studies of Google's """"20 percent time"""" (in which employees work on projects of their choosing one full day each week) and Best Buy's """"Results Only Work Environment"""" (in which employees can work whenever and however they choose-as long as they meet specific goals) demonstrate growing endorsement for this approach. A series of appendixes include further reading and tips on applying this method to businesses", fitness and child-rearing. Drawing on research in psychology, economics and sociology, Pink's analysis-and new model-of motivation offers tremendous insight into our deepest nature. (Jan.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
