Is it the desire to do the best job you can in a role that you love, or are you chasing a bumper end-of-year bonus? People's motivations vary hugely, from salary or the fear of job loss, to personal values and pride in a job well done. You can explore all these motivators, and more, with our articles, [Pink's Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose Framework]( and [Motivation](. Also, you can discover how to create an organizational culture that embraces the values that motivate today's job seekers with our article, [Goffee and Jones' DREAMS](. Enjoy this newsletter!

[Tools Icon] For Learning & Development Professionals, From Mind Tools Corporate [Developing Resilience and Achievement Thinking] [Developing Resilience and Achievement Thinking]( Bob Little explores how success and achievement are closely tied to our resilience, and to whether we have a positive mindset. A Final Note The "carrot and stick" approach to motivation may be unfashionable, but it still has its followers. Today, though, the key to attracting and retaining good people is to appeal to what really inspires them, and that means exploring "intrinsic" rather than "extrinsic" motivators. Next week, you can learn how to be a faster, more efficient reader, and you can explore strategies for developing your critical thinking skills. Have a great week!
