So what is a Motivational Map?
The Motivational Map is an ISO accredited online self-perception inventory that crucially focuses on motivation rather than personality. The Map (which takes 12 minutes to complete online), helps people understand motivation at a deeper level and what they can do with that knowledge to improve performance.
Motivational Maps help individuals to:
- Make good career decisions
- Determine how their motivation is likely to change
- See how well their current role is fulfilling their core career drivers
- Develop leadership and coaching skills
- Achieve greater fulfilment in their work
Motivational Maps can be assessed in THREE ways
As an individual
In only about 15 minutes online, the individual can complete the diagnostic and receive a full 15-page report on what motivates them and how motivated they are. The report is not only practical but also extremely revealing: most individuals have little idea about what truly motivates them.
The Motivational Map report contains at least 9 reward strategy ideas to help to motivate individuals further. This tool unlocks for them, and for others if they choose to share, the key to high performance. It is ideal for individual, career and leadership development.
The more motivation we have, the more energy; so this tool not only boosts our self-esteem but increases our capability to perform at a higher level.
As a team within an organisation
Most teams are assembled on the basis of relevant and complementary skill sets; what motivates the individuals in the team is often not considered at all.
Indeed, conflicts between individuals are often ascribed to ‘personality’ clashes. However, these clashes may well be and often are motivational in origin.
Team Maps enable leaders to be able to determine whether the energies of the team are harmonised with mission, whether there are internal conflicts that need addressing, and finally how to provide rewards that motivate the team: each report contains at least 11 actionable ideas. In short, they enable the team to perform at a higher level.
The team Map supports change management programs by improving communication with a shared language. This creates smoother transitions and staff engagement.
As an organistion
In the past you have understood your organisation from a financial, marketing and operational perspective; now understand it for the first time from a people perspective: the invisible desires of your employees made visible through the Organisational Motivational Map.
This diagnostic takes motivation to a whole new and strategic level within an organisation. It will tell you if your values, mission and vision are aligned with what your staff wants collectively, at each level deep within the heart of the organisation.
This is a true change management tool that enables you to quickly, accurately and usefully identify what the key people issues are for your organisation; it provides a simple and easy-to-use language that facilitates advanced communication across the organisation; and it has a rich repertoire of reward strategies to enable greater levels of motivation, performance and productivity to occur. It is the management tool for staff engagement.
Mapping projects typically involve Mapping individuals in a team within an organisation. This is followed with feedback from the Map Practitioner to the manager. The reports contain valuable information for individuals/teams – the Map Practitioner can help individuals and managers understand the results in greater depth and recommend actions for them to take. The key benefit to using Motivational Maps is always enhanced performance, because motivation is intrinsic to high performance levels.
So imagine the future if…
- You knew you had the knowledge to always make good career decisions
- You knew what motivated each person within your team
- You knew how motivated they were and how to more positively influence them effectively
- You could do something positive about the motivation and performance of your organisation
- You could identify the sources and therefore resolve conflict between team members.
