提高工作表現的秘訣

The secret to high performance

我並不是要說故事，我想做一個陳述，一個實實在在有根據的陳述，一個使我們重新思考組織運作的陳述。

當我帶你進入教室，給你一隻粉筆，然後跟你說：請你在黑板上寫字，你會怎麼做？你拿起粉筆卸下你的想法，這是一般人的做法，但是，不是最好的方法。

在二十一世紀工作，想要有高水準的表現，就要改變思考模式，需要一個全新的取向。新的理念是利用內在動機，我們對重要的事，喜歡做的事，有意思的事，可以有更大的貢獻，有著想把它做好的渴望。

我認為組織運作模式圍繞著三個元素：自主性、掌握度、使命感。自主性是主宰自己生命的動力；掌握度是對自己重視的工作有效做好的願望；使命感是對自己的工作能有更多貢獻的渴望。

提高工作的表現秘訣不在獎與懲，而是在看不到的內在動力，那種為做好工作的動力，那種因為工作有意義而作的動力。科學已經證實我們內心知道的道理，如果我們克服這種因循，我們可以解決很多難題，而更可能改變世界。

I don’t want to tell a story, I want to make a case, I want to make a hard-headed, evidence-based, dare I say lawyerly case for rethinking how we run our organization.

When I bring you into a classroom, I give you a chalk and I say to you, ”your job is to write words on the blackboard ”. Now what would you do? You take chalk and write down your idea, this is the almost people doing, but this is not the best good method.

If we really want high performance on those definitional tasks of the 21^st century, the solution is not to do more of the thinking model, we need a whole new approach. It’s an approach built much more around intrinsic motivation. Around the desire to do things because they matter, because we like it, because they’re interesting, because they are part of something important.

And to my mind, that new operating system for our organization revolves around three elements: Autonomy; Mastery; Purpose. Autonomy, the urge to direct our own lives. Mastery, the desire to get better and better at something that matters. Purpose, the yearning to do what do in the service of something large than ourselves.

The secret to high performance, isn’t rewards and punishments, but that unseen intrinsic drive. The drive to do things for their own sake. The drive to do things cause they matter. And here’s the best part. Here’s the best part. The science confirms what we know in our hearts. If we get past this ideology, we can solve a lot of those problems, and maybe, maybe, maybe, we can change the world.
