In one week, I went from not knowing how to draw to sketching a detailed portrait. It literally changed the way I see things (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
I think the more important task for a young person than developing a personal brand is figuring out what she’s great at, what she loves to do, and how she can use that to leave an imprint in the world. Those are tough questions, but essential ones. Answer those - and the personal brand follows (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
In large organizations there are discrete functions. I do this; you do that. I swim in my lane; you swim in your lane. That can be very effective for certain processes and in certain stable conditions. But it doesn’t work in unstable conditions (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
Questions are often more effective than statements in moving others. Or to put it more appropriately, since the research shows that when the facts are on your side, questions are more persuasive than statements, don’t you think you should be pitching more with questions? (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
I happen to be extremely left-brained; my instinct is to draw a chart rather than a picture. I’m trying to get my right-brain muscles into shape. I actually think this shift toward right-brain abilities has the potential to make us both better off and better in a deeper sense (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
My generation’s parents told their children, ‘Become an accountant, a lawyer, or an engineer; that will give you a solid foothold in the middle class.’ But these jobs are now being sent overseas. So in order to make it today, you have to do work that’s hard to outsource, hard to automate (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
I don’t think it’s a Western thing to really talk about intrinsic motivation and the drive for autonomy, mastery and purpose. You have to not be struggling for survival. For people who don’t know where their next meal is coming, notions of finding inner motivation are comical (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
A lot of times when you have very short-term goals with a high payoff, nasty things can happen. In particular, a lot of people will take the low road there. They’ll become myopic. They’ll crowd out the longer-term interests of the organization or even of themselves (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
Large companies are not going to disappear. Multinational companies with tens of thousands of employees are not going to disappear. In fact, many of them are getting larger because they can benefit from economies of scale (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
Now it’s easy for someone to set up a storefront and reach the entire world in very modest ways. So these technologies that we thought would dis-intermediate traditional sellers gave more people the tools to be sellers. It also changed the balance of power between sellers and buyers (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
The ability to take another perspective has become one of the keys to both sales and non-sales selling. And the social science research on perspective-taking yields some important lessons for all of us (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
The billable hours is a classic case of restricted autonomy. I mean, you’re working on - I mean, sometimes on these six-minute increments. So you’re not focused on doing a good job. You’re focused on hitting your numbers. It’s one reason why lawyers typically are so unhappy. And I want a world of happy lawyers (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
What’s important now are the characteristics of the brain’s right hemisphere: artistry, empathy, inventiveness, big-picture thinking. These skills have become first among equals in a whole range of business fields (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
Studying design has made me a much, much more astute observer of this aspect of business. And I’m working mightily to improve my empathic skills. I’ve dramatically improved my ability to read facial expressions - and I’m trying to be a better, more attentive listener (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
You know, I’m not a huge fan of the concept of ‘passion’ when it comes to careers. Instead of trying to answer the daunting question of ‘What’s your passion?’ it’s better simply to watch what you do when you’ve got time of your own and nobody’s looking (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
Financial firms are sending their back-office jobs overseas. But what do fine artists do? They create something new, unexpected, and delightful that changes the world. MFA abilities are harder to outsource and more important in an abundant world (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
Symphony is the ability to see the big picture, connect the dots, combine disparate things into something new. Visual artists in particular are good at seeing how the pieces come together. I experienced this myself by trying to learn to draw (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
It’s nothing short of a whole new brain... animated by a different form of thinking and a new approach to life. (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
The ultimate pitch for an era of short attention spans begins with a single word - and doesn’t go any further. (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
Human beings are natural mimickers. The more you’re conscious of the other side’s posture, mannerisms, and word choices - and the more you subtly reflect those back - the more accurate you’ll be at taking their perspective. (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
Wikipedia represents a belief in the supremacy of reason and goodness of others (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
What do artists do? Artists give people something they didn’t know they were missing: a dance, a piece of music, a painting, a piece of sculpture. Catering to that need is the best business strategy. (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
The three things that motivate creative people - autonomy, mastery, purpose! (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
The misuse of extrinsic rewards, so common in business, impedes creativity, stifles personal satisfaction and turns play into work. (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind - creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers. (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
One of the best predictors of ultimate success in either sales or non-sales selling isn’t natural talent or even industry expertise, but how you explain your failures and rejections. (Daniel H Pink Quotes)

Do what you can’t and experience the beauty of the mistakes you make (Daniel H Pink Quotes)
