The new Business Operating System is based on three things:

1.     Autonomy:  The urge to direct our own lives.

2.     Mastery:  The desire to get better and better at something that matters.

3.     Purpose:  The yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves.

The 20% rule Google employs:  Engineers can work on anything they want for 20% of the time.  Almost half of the all the new Google products were birthed during this 20% time.

There is a mismatch between what science knows and what business does.  The typical Rewards programs 20^th century businesses employ (the carrots and sticks philosophy) work, but only in a surprisingly narrow band of circumstances.  The secret to motivating people to produce lies in the unseen intrinsic drive to do things because they matter.

There is a great business lesson here.  I hope you take the time to watch this important video.  Your company’s future productivity may hinge on it.
