For example, for each of our kids, my wife and I introduced them to a variety of things &#8212; music, sports, art, etc. We kept waiting for them to discover which thing(s) that THEY wanted to pursue. Perhaps we&#8217;ll find out that this was the wrong thing to do. but according to Pink, it&#8217;s aligned with the type of energy and productivity that gets released when we pursue something that we want to pursue. Plus creativity flows in this type of setting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Again, my thanks to Roberto Ferraro for resurfacing this item as his<a href=\"https:\/\/robertoferraro.substack.com\/p\/the-puzzle-of-motivation-why-organizations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> &#8220;One &#8216;must read&#8217; for this week&#8221; item of his newsletter.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-79725 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/DSC-MoreVoiceChoiceControl.jpg\" alt=\"Learners need: More voice.
