Episode 082: Daniel Pink – The Science Of Motivation, Legendary Writer & TED Talk
Dan Pink is one of my all-time favorite writers and speakers. He truly understands the importance of an intense focus on continuous improvement. His focus and work on “Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose” is fantastic. We are extremely fortunate to have Dan share his knowledge with us, the loyal listeners of The Learning Leader Show.
Dan Pink is the author of five provocative books — including three long-running New York Times bestsellers, A Whole New Mind, Drive, and To Sell is Human. Dan’s books have been translated into 34 languages and have sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. In 2013, Thinkers 50 named him one of the top 15 business thinkers in the world.
Dan’s TED Talk on the science of motivation is one of the 10 most-watched TED Talks of all time, with more than 19 million views. His RSA Animate video about the ideas in his book, Drive, has collected more than 14 million views. Before venturing out on his own 18 years ago, Dan worked in several positions in politics and government, including serving from 1995 to 1997 as chief speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore.
