I hope you’ve enjoyed Part One & Part Two in Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink. I’m glad I spent time rereading it and getting ideas I missed the first time. This week is a good catch-up week for those that started later and a good reinforcement week for those that read quickly.
Assignment #1
Read Part Three in Drive.
Type I for Individuals: Nine Strategies for Awakening Your Motivation
Type I for Organizations: Nine Ways to Improve Your Company, Office, or Group
The Zen of Compensation: Paying People the Type I Way
Type I for Parents and Educators: Nine Ideas for Helping Our Kids
The Type Reading List: Fifteen Essential Books
Listen to the Gurus: Six Business Thinkers Who Get It
The Type I Fitness Plan: Four Tips for Getting (and Staying) Motivated to Exercise
Drive: The Recap
Drive: The Glossary
While it still is about 60+ pages of reading a lot of it is a recap and a place to go next. It reads quickly and helps you put a lot of the ideas into practice. We’ll spend next week with the discussion questions and then we’re done with this great book.
Assignment #2
Take Notes.
We’ve done this over the past two weeks, we’re doing it again.
What surprises you?
What do you disagree with?
What might you already change in your own world?
What would you want to share with your organization?
Utilize Evernote and jot down your thoughts.
We’ll spend Week 5 really discussing the book, so don’t worry about going to a facebook discussion page yet. Your notes will help out down the road.
