Why DRiVE Still Matters in Leadership

January 16, 2026

This short bridge episode, Why DRiVE Still Matters in Leadership, revisits key leadership lessons from Drive by Daniel Pink. The focus is on why autonomy, mastery, and purpose continue to shape motivation, engagement, and performance in modern organizations, especially in complex and remote environments. This episode also connects recent reflections with an upcoming conversation with Jennifer Prevette, Founder and Owner of The Burg Box.


Episode Highlights:

  • Autonomy without trust leads to isolation
  • Mastery stalls when growth paths are unclear
  • Purpose fades when communication declines
  • Remote work amplifies existing leadership gaps
  • Motivation often declines before performance does
