The Power of Progress

An interview with Teresa Amabile by Sarah Green Carmichael

T eresa 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 HBRs Sarah Green Carmichael.

Sarah Green Carmichael:What is the progress principle?

Teresa Amabile: Its 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 peoples 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 find meaningful. Thats the progress principle.

That sounds simple, but I think weve all had days when we felt like we werent making much progress. So how much progress do you really need to make to get that feeling?

Surprisingly little. We call this the power of small wins. For example, a computer programmer was trying to track down a bug in a program, and simply solving that little problem led to an extraordinarily positive inner work life that day. Tackling that bug yielded great emotions, very powerful motivation, and positive perceptions of the work environment. Fixing a bug is a seemingly small thing. But we found that 28% of really minorseemingly trivialevents had a strong impact on peoples inner work lives in the positive direction and, unfortunately, in the negative direction, too.

What happens when that negative direction takes hold?

Unfortunately, with all kinds of work events, negative is stronger than positive. The negative inner work life impact of having a setback, for example, is two to three times stronger than the positive impact of making progress. So its particularly important to avoid the minor hassles that can derail peoples work during the average workday.

If youd like to harness the power of these small wins and hopefully avoid some of the hassles, and youd like to feel like youre making more progress, what should you do?

Theres a lot that people can do for themselves to try to harness the progress principle. The most important is to focus. Many people in organizations are under a lot of time pressure, feeling high workload pressure. Its really easy to slip into being on a treadmill. Thats our term for running all the time, feeling like youre juggling a lot of balls that are thrown at you, but not making real progress on the important work thats really going to use your creative brain, and that the organization really needs to become the innovative leader in its field.
