The misuse of extrinsic rewards, so common in business, impedes creativity, stifles personal satisfaction and turns play into work.
Daniel H. Pink
In economic terms, we've always thought of work as a disutility - as something you do to get something else. Now it's increasingly a utility - something that's valuable and worthy in its own right.
Daniel H. Pink
The billable hours is a classic case of restricted autonomy. I mean, you're working on - I mean, sometimes on these six-minute increments. So you're not focused on doing a good job. You're focused on hitting your numbers. It's one reason why lawyers typically are so unhappy. And I want a world of happy lawyers.

Today it’s economically crucial and personally rewarding to create something that is also beautiful, whimsical, or emotionally engaging.
Daniel H. Pink
Rewards can deliver a short-term boost—just as a jolt of caffeine can keep you cranking for a few more hours. But the effect wears off—and, worse, can reduce a person’s longer-term motivation to continue the project.
Daniel H. Pink
Intrinsic motivation is conducive to creativity controlling extrinsic motivation is detrimental to creativity.

It's nothing short of a whole new brain... animated by a different form of thinking and a new approach to life.
Daniel H. Pink
Studying design has made me a much, much more astute observer of this aspect of business. And I'm working mightily to improve my empathic skills. I've dramatically improved my ability to read facial expressions - and I'm trying to be a better, more attentive listener.
Daniel H. Pink
The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: artists, inventors, storytellers-creative and holistic 'right-brain' thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn't.
Daniel H. Pink
I tend to pull nuggets out of many books - rather than having a handful of books that serve as guiding lights.
Daniel H. Pink
One of the best predictors of ultimate success in either sales or non - sales selling isn't natural talent or even industry expertise, but how you explain your failures and rejections.
Daniel H. Pink
To sell well is to convince someone else to part with resources—not to deprive that person, but to leave him better off in the end.
Daniel H. Pink
It's a question we all ask ourselves. What have we done lately? It rattles us each birthday.
Daniel H. Pink
The ultimate freedom for creative groups is the freedom to experiment with new ideas.
Daniel H. Pink
Carry a notebook and write down examples of good and poor design. After a week, you'll begin to realize that nearly everything is the product of a design decision.
Daniel H. Pink
For artists, scientists, inventors, schoolchildren, and the rest of us, intrinsic motivation-the drive to do something because it is interesting, challenging, and absorbing-is essential for high levels of creativity.
Daniel H. Pink
I think the more important task for a young person than developing a personal brand is figuring out what she's great at, what she loves to do, and how she can use that to leave an imprint in the world. Those are tough questions, but essential ones. Answer those - and the personal brand follows.
Daniel H. Pink
Abstract thinking leads to greater creativity... But in our businesses and our lives, we often do the opposite. We intensify our focus rather than widen our view.
Daniel H. Pink
For many of us, the opposite of talking isn't listening. It's waiting. When others speak, we typically divide our attention between what they're saying now and what we're going to say next - and end up doing a mediocre job at both.
