Teresa Amabile, Harvard Business School professor and a coauthor of The Progress Principle, explains the importance of small wins at work in this edited interview with HBR’s Sarah Green Carmichael.
Sarah Green Carmichael: What is the prog ress principle?
Teresa Amabile: It’s the surprising impact of simply making forward movement on meaningful work, on the people who are doing the work. My coauthor, Steven Kramer, and I studied nearly 12,000 daily diaries of people working on creative project teams to look at their inner work life. Inner work life is our term for the perceptions, emotions, and motivations that people experience as they react to and make sense of the events in their workday. What we found was that when people’s inner work lives were more positive, they performed better. We asked ourselves, if inner work life has such an impact on performance, what leads to good inner work life? We found that, of all the things that can drive people in their work and make them feel good about it, the single most important is simply making progress on work that they fi nd meaningful. That’s the progress principle.
