Motivations at work is defined by the pyramid comprising achievement, mastery and purpose. The key to succeeding at leadership is to operate at mastery and purpose at work and not be driven only by your need for achievement. To operate at mastery and purpose you have to find a way of meeting your achievement need outside work. A ‘passionate striving’ hobby is the means to that. It is important to be passionate about your hobby as otherwise you would not be able to sustain the striving for a long time.
