Third Drive

Dan Pink talks about engaging people’s third drive:
Management is the ideal technology if you’re seeking compliance — getting people to do what you want them to do, the way you want them to do it. But in today’s workforce, which demands much more in the way of creative and conceptual capabilities, we don’t want compliance. We want engagement. And self-direction is a far better technology for engagement.
For us this feels like confirmation in something we’ve believed in for a long time: Embracing the Whole Person. This is about meeting people at every level in your business — socially, morally, economically, professionally… At Soldier, we are really committed to letting our people get challenged and make their own path. It’s the entrepreneurial spirit that matters!
