Daniel Pink’s theory of success work

/in /by

In Drive, Daniel Pink argues that autonomy, mastery, and purpose motivate people more than external

rewards or punishments. What is your take on his argument? Perhaps some brainstorming questions may

help you to get started:

  1. Does Daniel Pink’s theory of success work when one of the elements (Autonomy, Mastery, and/or

Purpose) is taken out? Consider some of the ideas presented by your peers on the discussion board.

  1. To what degree are children – who may be young, inexperienced, and unmotivated – influenced by

autonomy or other intrinsic motivations? Can autonomy lead them to the right choices? How much

autonomy should they have over their education? At home?

  1. Examine the role of purpose in achieving success. You might consider whether a person can be

successful without intrinsic purpose or when or how it develops.

  1. Consider Pink’s theories from a social perspective. How does society play into autonomy, mastery,

and/or purpose?
