Adopted from the following great quote of Seth Godin and shows why innovation driven by engagement is the way forward in the modern day of the knowledge worker..
“Is it any wonder we teach this mindset? Factories and managers don’t want spunk, or even innovation. They generally seek compliance. We rely on the disobedient few for innovation, but today, innovation is our only option.”
Compliance is for Motivation 2.0 , Carrot Stick method of motivation so prevalent and successful in the factory environment.
This kind of risk and reward method of energizing employees stimulates mundane , routine bound work and kills creativity.
The modern day knowledge worker needs engagement and not compliance to unleash creative instincts so needed in modern day businesses driven by innovation.
Hence Motivation 3.0 is based on intrinsic motivation and hence engagement.
Applying compliance and engagement on a case to case basis can lead to best results
