Motivation 3.0 will come into my future career since I know how to incorporate it so that it benefits me in the future. I am aware on how some job forces do still use the carrot and sticks method, but I know that I can use what I have learned from Daniel Pink and use it to benefit both myself and whatever it is I work for. Pink also explains how well Motivation 3.0 fits into the new century and how outdated Motivation 2.0 is. I agree that it is necessary to build around Motivation 3.0, a point that needs emphasizing since so many believe that “carrots and sticks” is effective when it only brings both work forces and employees down. I urge that Motivation 3.0 be used since it does engage everyone 's ability to, not outperform others, but outperform themselves and have that satisfaction that will make them continue to do better.

Daniel Pink states in Drive, “Traditional ‘if-then’ rewards can give us less of what we want: They can extinguish intrinsic motivation, diminish performance, crush creativity, and crowd out good behavior” (Pink 220). I know not many will be familiar with the Motivation 3.0 system since many have only known about the reward or punishment system and have been using it for decades that it causes them to be afraid of change, but it will be useful to introduce Motivation 3.0 so they have a better understanding on why there is some under performance work. I would encourage people to be more opened minded for the many possibilities to improve and be absolutely satisfied about what they

    In the book Drive, by Daniel Pink he argues that carrots and sticks no longer work anymore and that we should now focus on autonomy, mastery, and purpose, which is known as Motivation 3.0. Although I agree with Pink, I personally disagreed in the beginning because in some situations carrots and sticks do work, but in the end motivation 3.0 is the way to be more successful. As of right now I am going to school to become a teacher, so I feel that motivation 3.0 will factor into my life and my career. As a teacher I will be able to my own work freely as long as my work gets done and my students learn what they need to learn.…

    Pink’s Motivation 3.0 is extremely useful because it sheds light on the difficult problem of people losing interest in their work or even companies seeing some of its employees behaving unethically. As Pink states, “Human beings have an innate inner drive to be autonomous, self-determined and connect to each other” a comment that express his overall argument of the three pillars of motivation 3.0 (71). I for one agree with Daniel Pink and his new method of seeing an obstacle. With motivation 3.0 a person would make a transition from being compliant in the work force and would reach a level of engagement with his or her work, and enter a state of flow, that would help a person better their work and allowing them to contribute to the community and only making the employees feeling much better about their…

    External motivators such as the carrot-stick approach, or extrinsic motivation is an old school approach, which is not relevant to today’s society. Not only is the carrot-stick, or reward and punishment outdated method, but also it can actually do more harm than good if exclusively utilized. According to Pink if you give human beings the ability to achieved autonomy (ability to be self directed and make their own decisions), provide an opportunity to achieve mastery (the desire to get better at something that matters), and create a sense of purpose (seek a cause larger oneself) there will be little need for external…
