What really makes people happy, motivated, productive, and creative at work? Teresa Amabiles new research, conducted with her colleagues and based on analyzing nearly 12,000 daily diaries of team members working on collaborative creative projects, reveals some surprising answers. In this Executive Leadership presentation, Dr. Amabile will use stories from those diaries to describe our discoveries. The first is that inner work life a persons day-by-day emotions, perceptions, and motivation has a profound effect on the persons creative productivity. The second discovery is the Progress Principle: Of all the good things that can boost inner work life, the single most important is simply making progress on meaningful work even if that progress is a small step forward. Unfortunately, of all the bad things that can dampen inner work life, the single most important is having setbacks in the work and setbacks are even more powerful than progress. The implication? Sustained creative productivity and employee well-being depend less on elaborate incentive systems or performance-management processes than on techniques for facilitating daily work progress.
