It seems fortuitous that I wrote last night on Mike Rowe and then found Daniel Pink<\/a> shortly after to reflect on the nature of motivation.\u00a0 These are two very nice videos back-to-back and tell us much about the new age of work and accomplishment.\u00a0 Similar to the theories (dare I say facts) presented by Pink, I’m writing this instead of the paper that is due in my doctoral class – my incentive, “grade” based class where I do work for the carrot of a piece of paper that somehow distinguishes me from everyone else – hogwash!<\/p>\n

In reality, much of what Pink describes is true for me – I select projects where I can be creative and add to the base of knowledge rather than looking for the position with the greatest pay potential.\u00a0 Performance has always been a motivator and I read about Google’s 20%<\/a> only to say “Yeah!” and “Right On!!” and “That Makes Sense!!!”<\/p>\n

The fact that we have had it wrong for so long is what amazes me.\u00a0 In schools especially, we seem all too caught up in a Pavlovian reality and stretching to a different kind of conceptual framework seems unreachable.\u00a0 Could it be that our most difficult students are trying to tell us something that has nothing to do with their “condition?”\u00a0 Maybe we have so tightly closed the lid on our children that they have no choice but to move constantly amongst realities – one after another in quick succession – to the point that we no longer understand them because of their divergence from our norms.<\/p>\n

Pink may have the new age of motivation in his pocket, and his dialog on the topic has inspired some divergent thinking at the very least.<\/p>\n
