Intrinsic Motivation: "Personalized Medicine" for High Performance

by Ana Lucia Jardim Evans

"At the start of another transformational period in American business, Andy Grove of Intel said that there are 2 kinds of businesses: those that use email and those that will. Today, flexibility is the new email. There are employers that have it, and there are those that will".

With these words, the head of the United States Office of Personnel Management underpinned the spirit of the White House Forum on Workplace Flexibility hosted by President Obama and the First Lady on March 31. Going farther, he announced the US government hired the founders of ROWE (Results Only Work Environment) to implement work flexibility programs.

Speaking at the Forum, President Obama - introduced as the "Teleworker in Chief" - further acknowledged the results of a White House study estimating that flexibility arrangements could save the US economy a combined $15 billion a year.

But workplace flexibility is just one practice that organizations can adopt to tap into employees' intrinsic motivation- our true Drive according to Daniel Pink's latest book, which inspired the BOLD workshop of June 23rd on Beyond Pay-For-Performance: Leveraging Intrinsic Motivation for Exceptional Performance.
