Dan Pink - the puzzle of motivation

Extrinsic motivators …

Rewards?

Incentives?

‘If you do this, then you get that’ – mostly doesn’t work

Rewards narrow our focus and concentrate the mind – they work for very simple short term tasks

So for the bigger queations we don’t want a narrow focus, we don’t want to restrict the possibiloities

Intrinsic

Autonomy – the desire to direct our own lives

Mastery  - the dsire to get better and better at something that matters

Purpose – yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves

For engagement self direction works better

LIZ COLEMAN - a call to reinvent liberal arts education

liberal arts as the most compellign model because of its historic commitment to furthering students broadest intellectual and deepest ethical potential

The progression of today's college student is to jettison every interest except one. And within that one, to continually narrow the focus, learning more and more about less and less; this, despite the evidence all around us of the interconnectedness of things

"What kind of a world are we making? What kind of a world should we be making? What kind of a world can we be making?" are treated with more and more skepticism, and move off the table.

Enhancing the public good becomes a primary objective. The accomplishment of civic virtue is tied to the uses of intellect and imagination at their most challenging.

But structures designed to connect, rather than divide mutually dependent circles, rather than isolating triangles.

Contrary to widely held assumptions, an emphasis on action provides a special urgency to thinking.
