Description

Getting people to do their best work, evenin trying circumstances, is one of managers’most enduring and slippery challenges. Indeed, deciphering what motivates us as humanbeings is a centuries-old puzzle. Some ofhistory’s most influential thinkers abouthuman behavior—among them Aristotle,Adam Smith, Sigmund Freud, and AbrahamMaslow—have struggled to understand itsnuances and have taught us a tremendousamount about why people do the thingsthey do.Such luminaries, however, didn’t have theadvantage of knowledge gleaned from modernbrain science. Their theories were based oncareful and educated investigation, to be sure,but also exclusively on direct observation.Imagine trying to infer how a car works byexamining its movements (starting, stopping,accelerating, turning) without being able totake apart the engine.
