The First Installment of Must Share Monday!

Good Morning!


As promised, this is the first installment of the Must Share Monday segments. This is where I get to share cool things I've found on the internet, and encourage you to do the same. These aren't necessarily HR or business related, but since all things do connect, I'm sure they're relevant somewhere.


Today is Mr. Daniel Pink. If you haven't heard of him, be prepared for greatness. He's talking about all the best stuff: emotional intelligence in the workplace, intrinsic motivation, money, life, and  happiness.


Perhaps you've heard of his books? Drive is the most famous, although Johnny Bunko and A Whole New Mind are fabulous.


This man restores my faith in management.


While I was going to link an older post of his from my archives, he wrote this today -
50 Centuries of Work = 5 Important Lessons.


It made me, as a younger person, stop and think about what I really want from my career, vs. what I wanted 10 years ago.


( I thought I'd be a CEO who speaks 7 languages by the time I was 30. I admit it, I was delusional.... but there's still a few years yet!)


Take a moment to read the comments below his blog as well. People are talking about great things there, and good discussions happen (so rare in the Blogosphere!) No blasting, just honest thought.


If I had to choose between meeting The Queen and Daniel Pink, I think you know who'd win.
