Motivation: Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose

Autonomy, mastery, purpose: three forces that motivate us all




Your images are a virus. They are EVERYWHERE on the Internet - Scott Hanselman's Blog




"a great place to work" is where a person can 
  • do useful things, for organization (purpose)
  • that she or he can do really well (mastery)
  • that she or he also likes to do on its own (autonomy)
a sustainable "good feeling" comes from (personal) growth,
meaning learning new useful skills, 
and then being able to use them for creating value




“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.’”

Be the best of whatever you are.
