Intrinsic Motivation Over Rewards
- Traditional "carrots and sticks" methods fail to sustain long-term motivation and can diminish creativity.
- True engagement arises from intrinsic motivators: autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose
- Autonomy empowers people by letting them decide how to work and live, fueling motivation.
- Mastery and purpose push people to improve and pursue goals beyond themselves, driving excellence and energy.
Align Goals With Intrinsic Drive
- Focus your goals on intrinsic motivators rather than external rewards to sustain energy.
- Align your aims with autonomy, mastery, and purpose for resilient motivation.
