You algorithmic or heuristic? The answer lies here. To understand what motivates you in life and work because you are dissatisfied by what you are doing you should ask yourself this question; algorithmic or heuristic?
Before responding to ó , you should read "Drive. The surprising truth about what motivates us at work and in life " by Daniel H. Pink.
The author explains that if you prefer to work algorithmic routine, established through the procedure, where the goal to reach and 'default as well as are the ways of working to achieve it.
You heuristic instead if you feel attracted to creative work, where the options are open, where the goal may also be default but it leaves ample room for autonomy in taking action to achieve it.
algorithmic If you are you will feel inspired by forms of remuneration linked to the goal on time and according to these steps, you will be paid based on your performance and nothing more.
objectives You will be punished if they do not reach the as indicated. Carrot and stick.
If you feel you are heuristic not only stimulated by an adequate remuneration, that is obviously a pre-condition, but the autonomy and the opportunity to apply your creativity without constraints to the achievement of ' likely to exceed target.
So far, so clear, why go further in reading? Although it is true that each of us in certain parts of their work, more or less extensive, and 'algorithmic, it is also true that to become more heuristic does well.
does well first of all to your job prospects, highly creative works, business, relational and knowledge are the ones least likely to be outsourced abroad as difficult to be outlined, based on replicable procedures to be applied .
then is good for you, your ambitions, to make, what you really want to do your new job. Because we are not talking only to keep their jobs or not, appearance is not entirely negligible, but to have success.
True success is what allows us to apply our desires, our ambitions, our desire for autonomy, to our daily work, not be more dovendolo but making it a state of flow of identification continues.
Attention to ó , what I'm saying there will be recounted in the book using the usual techniques of self-motivation and retract the American school. There will be no repeat slogans in the car while you are prisoners of the usual queue for the daily commute to work.
The author "Drive" will take you to a location at times annoying but enlightened; annoying because, referring also to solid evidence obtained from experiments in the field of motivational psychology, forces you to question the stereotypes of which we are all imbued.
will be very difficult to accept that it will not be 'much-needed pay rise to give us the push we lack motivation, yes of course, initially we will also be satisfied, enhance our performance and regain the momentum but sooner or later, we need more new ideas, new salary increases, new benefits in order to raise our level of satisfaction. A kind of endless race on the treadmill (provided there is someone willing to continue offering increases in salary, I doubt it).
Why read it:
This book has two reading levels.
The first is intended as criticism of management thinking in people management technology. It reminds us that it is necessary to reconsider the forms of governance adapt to a new audience, all of us who in the activity is' work is also a form of expression of one's being in a continuous improvement. One argument that abandoning the logic of "carrot and stick" no longer suited to modern competitive scenario where each of us and 'obliged to be their own entrepreneurs.
The second use of managers to themselves or others, provides a clear view of the motivational forces that we have cultivated and strengthened in our daily activities and during the management of others. Because, whether you are a CEO or a new intern, and 'one of our obligation to improve the quality of our lives work and the environment in which we operate.
