#66: Daniel Pink Talks Productivity, Motivation, and Regret
For the first time, CULTURE goodr has a guest who doesn't work for goodr!!! In episode #66, Stephen interviews New York Times bestselling author, Daniel H. Pink. (Pink wrote To Sell is Human, When, A Whole New Mind, The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward, and Drive, which heavily influenced the culture at goodr.)
They discuss:
- how Dan's childhood was shaped by growing up around libraries
- Dan's day-to-day writing routine, and why you shouldn't wait for inspiration to create
- why you should use David Allen's GTD to get stuff out of your head and into a system
- what culture means to Dan, and how companies can foster a meaningful, emergent culture
- how companies like goodr can support night owls, instead of just early birds and larks
- Dan's thoughts on working remotely vs. in-office, and why companies should be 'scientists'
- the perils of 'if, then' reward systems, that appeal to extrinsic motivations, not intrinsic ones
- Dan's thoughts on goodr's AMP (Autonomy, Master & Purpose) evaluation system, which was influenced by his book Drive
- Dan's new book, The Power of Regret, and how one can be totally satisfied with their life but still have regrets.
- what kind of company culture Dan would create, and what current status quo we need to challenge the most
