Motivation, work & learning

I have discussed motivation in this blog before. If you missed the motivational videos check out this link. This is another video on motivation. This is by Dan Pink and it is based on his book Drive. I haven’t had the chance to read this book yet but it is a big seller and it does have very good reviews. I have listened to him talk on a webcast and he does have a lot of very interesting and interesting things to say about what drives us to do whatever, particularly work. There are some lessons in this video for trainers as well. He breaks it down into Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose. This video is directed at the workplace but it could be put into action in a good training room. Watch the video and let e know how you could apply these three factors to learning. I have my views. If nothing else watch the video because the cartoon graphics are spectacular and entertaining.
