Autonomy, mastery, purpose

• Autonomy, the urge to direct our own lives; 
• Mastery, the desire to get better and better at something meaningful; 
• Purpose, the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves: 

The end state of these three motivators is nothing more than satisfaction. 
Management is better for compliance but self-direction works better for engagement. 

Pay people adequately and fairly and then give them lots of autonomy.
