Tanasuk is built on five core values, and what motivates us are derivatives of those values. We are Learners, Givers, Sharers, Performers, and we admit our mistakes (Oops value). Today we read an excerpt from the book Drive by Dan Pink... What motivates us to do great work? It’s an age-old question. But the age-old answers – rewards, recognition, money, stability – no longer seem to suffice. As weve shifted to a knowledge-based economy, it turns out that what drives us has shifted, too. Recent research reveals that when creative thinking is part and parcel of your job description, external motivation just doesn’t work. The year-end bonus, the promotion, the basic dangled carrot approach – these things don’t inspire better performance. What really gets creatives fired up is, well, ourselves. That is, intrinsic motivation. If we can imagine an achievement, see ourselves progressing toward that goal, and understand that we are gaining new skills and knowledge, we will be driven to do great work. youtube/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc
