Last year, I created something called the Federal News Radio Book Club.
The idea is simple -- it is something like the Oprah book club, but we
talk about books that help you do your job better. And it isn't a
physical meeting. It is a radio gathering -- we gather and discuss a
book.
I've just selected the next book -- and it is a book that will spur you to think.
The book:
Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink
The details:
When: Friday, April 2 at 3p ET
Where: On Federal News Radio 1500 AM’s Daily Debrief with Chris Dorobek and A... and on FederalNewsRadio.com
The book: Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink. Amy and I will be there with Pink — and I’m working on some special guests to join the discussion.
Essentially
his thesis is that it is time for a new way of motivating people --
motivation 3.0, if you will. And he argues that there is real evidence
that the traditional carrot-and-stick approach isn't effective for the
challenges facing most organizations today.
Get more information about the book -- and why I selected it -- on the DorobekINSIDER.
I'm hoping that we can have a discussion of the book here -- as you read it, share your thoughts, ideas, questions, how it applies to government... and we can use it as fodder for the Federal News Radio Book Club "meeting" on Friday, April 2 at 3p ET.
Also -- if you have thoughts about people that would contribute to the discussion... thoughts welcome.
