He highlights research showing that carrot-and-stick methods can harm performance, particularly in complex or creative tasks. Pink argues that this approach is outdated and doesn’t work for the modern world. This method has been widely used in organizations to push employees to achieve goals and meet deadlines. The basic premise of this approach is that people are primarily motivated by external rewards (the carrot) or the threat of punishment (the stick). “Drive” starts by tackling the traditional carrot-and-stick approach to motivation, which has been the go-to method for years.
