Download or read book Drive written by Daniel H. Pink and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.
Download or read book Visionary Leaders written by Angela Bliss and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership style is a style used by a leader to lead an organization by using existing resources within the organization to achieve organizational goals. Human resources are one of the resources in the organization that can be used by leaders to achieve organizational goals. Employees are human resources that can be utilized by a leader in achieving organizational goals. Effective leaders don't create followers, they create leaders. While you may have the expertise and authority to make swift decisions, effective leadership more often calls for a measured, team-focused approach that acknowledges diverse perspectives and environmental uncertainty. In this book, you will learn how to bring colleagues together during difficult times to make sense of the world, adapt, and achieve results. Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine. (Chris Hadfield)
