Why It’s Crucial to Understand Your Motivational Map

One of our most popular courses is the ISO accredited and highly renowned Motivational Maps® programme.  

Empowering yourself to have a better understanding of what drives you is key to ensuring great results for your company.  

And especially now, in our post-Covid world, many leaders are looking to improve their leadership functions – understanding your Motivational Map® is crucial to becoming a better leader. 

Understanding your Motivational Map® will enable you to meet the needs of your team better, and will result in the whole team feeling energised and positive – it’s a great way to achieve excellent results and is simple to implement. 

Motivational mapping is used by many of the world’s leading companies, including John Lewis and Partners, Siemens, and Oracle.  

Today we delve into what motivational mapping can do for your organisation, and why it’s crucial to understand your Motivational Map®. 

 

What Does Motivational Mapping Achieve? 

Motivational mapping is carried out by leaders who want to be the best version of themselves, and there are countless different leadership training or coaching courses that you can take. 

The truth is if you don’t understand yourself at a deeper level – how you learn, what motivates you and what could be holding you back – then other leadership courses you invest in will struggle to make an impact. This is where understanding your motivational map can help. 

Unlocking your Motivational Map® provides the following: 

  • Makes you aware of what drives you, and what could be holding you back 
  • It allows you to understand your own and your team’s motivators 
  • Allows you to understand your team dynamics better and how to resolve tension and conflict 
  • Increases your confidence and self-esteem, which naturally comes from understanding ourselves better. 

These are the benefits that you personally will gain from finding out your Motivational Map®, but how does this benefit your team? 

 

Helping You Help Your Team  

Understanding your Motivational Map® is the most effective training programme you will engage with when it comes to unlocking hidden insights which make an impact on your personal and professional life. 

What many leaders don’t recognise is that understanding yourself is the best way to understand your team. 

Some of the benefits that leaders who undertake Motivational Mapping® enjoy include: 

  • An increase in self-awareness 
  • Personal development  
  • Enhanced leadership skills 
  • Increased productivity, energy and happiness. 

When you develop yourself in these areas, you are equipping yourself with the skills to not only lead but to inspire your team as a role model. 

If you would like to take Motivational Mapping® to the next level, we also offer programmes for the entire team, let me explain in more detail.  

 

Motivational Mapping®  For Teams 

As well as our mapping for leaders, we also offer a programme which allows you to discover the Motivational Maps® of your entire team, too. 

Used at an organisational level, Motivational Mapping can deliver far greater results for your team, including solving problems such as low motivation, low engagement, weak performance and productivity and poor staff retention. 

Addressing these concerns within your team has never been more relevant, particularly in our post-Covid world, where employee performance in a challenging environment is an increasing leadership challenge.  

Companies who use the team mapping programme report benefits which include improved teamwork and productivity, happier and more engaged employees – the elusive team dynamics that all businesses are looking for.

Why Motivational Mapping is Effective as a Leadership Strategy  

As I mentioned, Motivational Maps® are used by some of the world’s leading companies, and there’s a reason for this. 

Many leaders often feel frustrated; they feel as though they are giving a lot of themselves but not getting the results that they expect in return. 

Often this is because they are focusing their efforts in a misguided way, but they are unaware that this is happening.  

It is increasingly accepted that one of the most impactful ways you can develop yourself as a leader relates to managing your emotions and enhancing your emotional intelligence – and this is what Motivational Mapping®  delivers. 

It provides you not just with information on how to achieve success, but also the tools and the knowledge to be able to implement successful strategies which connect with your team, based on the deep understanding that it provides you with. 

During your analysis, you will be assigned a persona, including The Defender, who seeks security, predictability and stability, The Director, who seeks power, influence and control, and the Creator, who seeks innovation and expressing creative potential. 

Most leaders realise for the first time their inner drives after completing their Motivational Map® – is it time you started understanding yourself better?
