Moving Motivators

Step One: Identify your individual motivators

Each participant individually defines which motivators are important to them. They place the cards in order from left (least important) to right (most important.)

Step Two: Measure the impact of the change on your motIvation

- Individually move the cards up or down as regards to the change you are discussing. Is this change going to boost your motivator (up) or is it going to hinder it (down)? (see example in attachment)

- For example: If you’re wondering if you should change jobs, which would mean moving to another city, learning a new skill and making all new friends, how does that affect what motivates you? It’ll most likely increase some motivators and decrease others. 

- Then look globally at whether you have more cards up or down. 

Step Three: Time for reflection and discussion

- Talk to your teammates (including manager) about which motivators are least and most important to them. This will give you better insight into what drives your colleagues and allow you to create stronger relationships and increase collaboration.

Tip : make sure the manager's motivators are presented last.

- Exchange on how to mitigate the "lowering" impact on your motivators
