What drives us on the road to success?
It’s not what you may think…in his new book "Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us," Daniel Pink eschews the notion that external rewards, such as money, keep us on track to achieve. Instead, he says the key to high performance is internal – the desire to follow your interests, solve your own problems and understand the benefits for yourself. His ideas could shake up organizations that rely on the carrot-and-stick approach to drive their employees – and their business.
