3rd Drive and Don’t Forget the Quotes

by Jade Handy on June 29, 2010

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it, again.  “Read Drive by Dan Pink.”  Hey, I realize I have posted about this book previously, once, twice, three times (2nd Drive), even.  But, this video bares repeating.  Watch it, at least.  Throw some headphones in and learn something that will change the way you see yourself and those around you.

RSA Animate – Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

I watched this video this past weekend, but was reminded again, in my Google Reader feeds to write about it.

________________________________________

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.  -Albert Einstein   #counterfunctionalconditionalclause  < not sure I wanted to hear that from Albert, but whatever…

Originally, we were talking about motivation, but now that we’re talking about “other” things,…

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.  -Martin Luther King, Jr.  #isocolon  < what drives out idiots? (not MLKJ, by the way) (I mean I’m not talking “about” MLKJ) (I hope you get what I’m trying to say here) (whatever, you know what I mean)

What the hell, let’s jiggy random with it…

I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.  -Steven Wright  #humorduh  #snowclone

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.  -George S. Patton  #anaphora  #isocolon  #ruleof3

The middle of the road is where the white line is – and that’s the worst place to drive.  -Robert Frost  #simpletruth  #yesresponse

Not so random, after all.  Would you believe these “random” quotes were all from one page of quotes?  I didn’t until, like you, I do now.  #youfigureitout

    OMG – that was amazing. First off that the video was over ten minutes and I was riveted but the ideas he brings up are so “right on” and yet most companies don't get it. I love the concept of the 24 hour day when you work on what you want with whomever you want. From a customer relationship perspective – this is the reason that companies like Ritz Carlton excel at their customer service – they give all of the employees the tools to fix the problem however they see fit – right on the spot. Brilliant stuff. I will have to get the book. Thanks so much for sharing and bringing this to our attention!
