InterviewMetDanielPink
uittreksel: MCNews: What’s the impact of the conceptual age on the workplace, particularly as it relates to the people you hire? Pink: You want to hire people who have the kind of right-brain abilities that can’t be outsourced or automated, and that satisfy some of the nonmaterial needs of this abundant age. If you peel that back, what you want is people who are intrinsically motivated. That is, they are doing what they love. And it tends to be right-brain activities that generate that kind of motivation. For instance, people don’t become designers because they want to make a gazillion dollars, but because they love it. They’re almost compelled to do it. Same thing is true with story-telling and even empathy. These abilities are part of our nature—the things that we’re motivated to do, not for the extrinsic rewards, but for internal fulfillment, joy, and challenge. (...) The best career move is to find what you love to do, what you’re great at, and pursue that. I think you will be more valuable in the workforce. If you love accounting and you’re great at it, you’re going to be okay. I worry about the folks who pursue careers because their parents, teachers, or spouses give them outdated advice and they’re dutifully marching into careers they don’t really care about because they think it’s the way to make money. Not only is that bad for their individual self-actualization but I think it’s a bad career move, too. Lees het volledige interview. |
