Motivational Maps
Motivational Maps
A Motivational Map is an ISO accredited online diagnostic tool that helps individuals and teams to understand and prioritise what motivates them.
We can all identify with the energy and drive that comes from feeling motivated and fulfilled in what we do, however, we can struggle to articulate exactly what it is that motivates us and how to measure it in a meaningful way.
This where a Motivational Map come in.
A Motivational Map provides a clear measure of what motivates a person and gives energy, what takes it away and how energised each individual is currently in the work that they are doing. The map also provides practical tools and strategies to increase and maintain motivation resulting in increased performance of your team as well as increased wellbeing and engagement.
The original Motivational Map was created by James Sale through his extensive research into human motivation and the study of three primary sources:
-
Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs,
-
Edgar Schein’s Career Anchors
-
The Enneagram, a personality profiling tool
The Motivational Map is based on three clusters of motivation: relationships, achievements, and growth. Within these clusters are nine individual motivators. Of these, three will typically be stronger, with one as a core motivator.
The online tool asks a series of questions to prioritise these nine motivators for each individual, identifying the contribution of each motivator and how this can affect personal performance and engagement.
The Motivational Map is presented as a comprehensive report that accurately describes an individual’s motivations, any internal tensions that may exist with conflicting motivations and specific tools and strategies to increase motivation and engagement in key areas. This report enables each individual to understand themselves more fully and take responsibility for their own personal growth and provides the basis for ongoing coaching if required.
The Maps also enable a team leader to understand what motivates each member of their team and how to maximise levels of motivation.
