Human motivation has evolved from simple rewards and punishments to include a powerful third driver: intrinsic motivation. This type of motivation, fueled by autonomy, mastery, and purpose, propels individuals to excel.
Autonomy is the desire to control our own lives. Mastery is the drive to improve in meaningful areas, while purpose involves working towards goals that extend beyond ourselves.
Incorporating these intrinsic motivators can enhance satisfaction and achievement in both personal and professional realms. Key aspects include:
Task: Choosing one's projects or tasks.
Time: Flexibility in scheduling tasks.
Team: Selecting collaborators or team members.
Technique: Deciding on methods for task completion.
Achieving mastery is a mindset that believes skills can grow with effort and perseverance, fostering a love for learning and resilience. However, mastery is challenging and demands dedication, often involving struggles and learning from failures. It is viewed as an asymptote, a goal to continuously strive for without complete attainment, where the process of striving brings joy.
Purpose can be divided into 'Big Purpose,' connecting actions to a larger cause, and 'Small Purpose,' finding meaning in daily tasks. Both perspectives enhance motivation by linking efforts to broader goals or the well-being of others, offering a sense of contribution beyond personal achievements.
