Drive (Daniel Pink)

£4.00

Drive by Daniel Pink argues that true motivation is driven not by external rewards or punishments, but by three intrinsic elements: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Drawing on behavioural science, Pink demonstrates that when people have control over their work, opportunities to improve, and a sense that their efforts matter, they perform at higher levels and experience deeper satisfaction. The book reframes motivation as something internally fuelled rather than externally managed.

  • From a GLAS Method perspective, Drive aligns strongly with Discovering Meaning, Directing Performance, and Manage Your Energy. Purpose fuels energy, mastery sustains growth, and autonomy preserves vitality. GLAS reinforces that motivation is not something leaders impose — it is something they design for.

    The principles are strengthened through Harnessing Awareness, Self Acceptance, and Designing Your Next You. Awareness allows individuals to recognise what motivates them; self-acceptance supports authentic growth; and intentional design ensures development is aligned rather than forced.

    Finally, Drive supports Alignment, Strong Connections, and Compound Impact. When motivation is intrinsic, effort is sustained, collaboration improves, and small gains compound into meaningful, long-term performance without burnout.
