Are you ready to harness the motivation of your teams?

Motivation is an essential ingredient of success at work and yet most managers struggle to know what really motivates their team. Let's face it, when we think about our own motivation, it can be hard to articulate what really matters to us! Having 121s that deliberately pick up on motivation not only lead to more productive teams, they lead to a happier workplace.

But how do you harness motivation at work?

As the saying goes, 'what gets measured gets managed'. For people to be able to maximise their own motivation, they first need to know what motivates them and then how well these motivators are being met.

And that's where Motivational Maps comes in. Maps are an ISO-accredited tool which identifies the order and intensity of nine Motivators and measures the extent to which each Motivator is being met.

In the same way that tools like Insights Discovery has brought a common language around behaviour, and Belbin has done the same for teams, Motivational Maps does the same for motivation.

 

By placing the power of Motivational Maps in the hands of every team member, employees feel empowered to take action for themselves. 

 

With Team Maps, teams can easily share information about their drivers - what they need and want from each other - and be clear about what demotivates them. This awareness leads to higher levels of motivation, and, ultimately, more successful teams.

Why is motivation so important when developing teams?

Motivational Maps enables a team to uncover and discover a new level of self-awareness. This develops trust - an essential building block for team development. It also help removes tension - as it takes the guesswork out of why people do what they do.

When people are motivated, they are more resourceful - finding ways to overcome challenges and conflict. They become solution-seekers and value-creators. They take even more responsibility for their own results - and those of their team. 

If you would you like to experience Motivational Maps for yourself and see how it could work for your team, contact us.

We also train people to become Motivational Maps Practitioners and we have a dedicated website which provides further information on this here.

And because motivation is seen as such an important ingredient to success, our Founder, Kate Turner, has even written a book on the subject - CREATE Motivation - Unlock the leader within. For more info, please click here.
