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 helps individuals…
Make good career decisions
Determine how their motivation is likely to change
Improve staff retention
See how well their current role is fulfilling their core career drivers
Develop leadership and coaching skills
Achieve greater fulfilment from their work
Individual Motivational Maps identify how strong each of the preferences are in relation to each other. The LQ will help individuals use that knowledge to improve their own career decisions and management skills.
The Team Motivational Map demonstrates how motivated a team is. A Team map is created from the combined results of individuals in the team. A Manager/Team Leader can work with the LQ to understand the motivation of their team.
