The 6th Annual PHRPS Leadership Forum


What the Science of Motivation
Can Teach You About High Performance

Crystal Tearoom,  100 Penn Sq., Philadelphia, PA
7:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Continental Breakfast included

Daniel Pink, best-selling author of A Whole New Mind, uses four decades of behavioral research to reveal why the traditional approach to high performance backfires on most organizations.

In a provocative and entertaining presentation, audiences will see how many common organizational incentives often go wrong—and can reduce both creativity and satisfaction on the job. Participants will learn that the people who do what they do because of enjoyment of the task itself routinely outperform those who are motivated by external rewards. With examples from cutting-edge companies and intriguing experiments around the world, audiences will learn the three key ingredients of intrinsically-motivated high performers—and demonstrate how organizations can create contexts that tap our deepest motivations to produce the highest results.
