Clare Joyce Hello all! I'm new to Brazen Careerist, and, to a certain extent, to leadership as well. I thought I'd share a link to a talk that I think provides a really interesting perspective on motivating people. http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.html Let me know what you think! How can we give our teams the sense of autonomy, mastery, and purpose that makes work meaningful?

Jason Drohn Don't know if it's already been mentioned, but "Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior" was a great book.
