Topic 1: Suzie’s Real-Life Story Around  Mismatch of Motivators, What the Motivators Are and About the Workplace Motivators Assessment

  • The Workplace Motivators is an Assessment used to reveal what puts gas in your tank.  DISC style – what people see, WM – not seen, but they drive your behaviors.  I use this assessment in team building, training – leadership/sales/interviewers and in hiring.
  • Your Assessment results explain why people do what they do.
  • Your top two motivators, according to the assessment, are your top strengths, preferences and where you thrive.

Topic 2: What are the Six Motivators?

  1. The Learner/Intellectual motivator – She will research market trends and actually become trained in the workshop and become certified in the assessments so she can train other people to teach the class.  She will focus on gathering all the necessary information.  (Einstein, Professors, Journalists)
  2. The Business Person/Resourceful motivator – He will focus on sales and figuring out what the budget should be. (82% of all top sales people score #1 in this area…)  Work hard and long for economic return and want to reduce waste. He’s going focus on how to maximize return on investment. (Donald Trump, Investors, Sales people)
  3. The Serving Others/Altruistic motivator she will coach people who’ve completed the assessment before and after each workshop.  She will also mentor the new trainers and coaches mentor as they are out around the country teaching, making sure their needs and interests are taken care of  (Mother Teresa, princess Diana, coaches)
  4. The Balance Seeker’ Harmonious motivator he will focus on using his talents in design to make sure that the marketing materials look and feel just right.  He will also oversee how the PowerPoint slides and workbooks look, ensuring just the right look and pleasing aesthetic.  (Martha Stewart, Walt Disney, architects, designers-marketing, web, interior, landscaper)
  5. The Power Player/Commanding motivator she will be the public image and face of the training program – making speeches to groups and attending networking meetings all over the country. She’ll help lead the team and stay focused on thinking outside the box, getting visibility and advancing her own and the team’s image. (Professional speakers, politicians, entrepreneurs, sales – networking)
  6. The Principled /Process and Order Keeper motivator he’ll drive the efforts for standard operating procedures for all employees and for the roll-out of the program.  He’ll monitor and enforce the rules to ensure that the traditions of the company stay strong.  He’ll also oversee that the budget – checking to make sure that everyone is following the budgetary guidelines. (Ministry, policeman, CFO)
  • Motivators help answer these four questions, a quote from 1960 by Dr. Robert S. Hartman, the Founder of the Science of Axiology: "What am I here for in this world? Why do I work for this organization?  What can this organization do to help me fulfill my meaning in the world?  How I can help this organization help me fulfill my meaning in the world?"

  • What’s a blind spot?  Well, blind spots point to ANOTHER advantage to Observing, Listing and knowing  your top M&S - that we’ve not even talked about yet – because your top strengths and motivators can become so second-nature to you, you often don’t even realize when you’re overusing them…  We all have blind spots.

Topic 5: M.O.R.E. Motivation – Step 4 - E. Embrace Differences 

  • Pride around what you value (your top motivators) can lead to unintentional judgment and conflict, “I’m right, you’re wrong.”
  • “One person’s crazy is another person’s refreshing.”  
  • Hire people who match the job so that you have stronger intrinsic commitment to the work; and for the people already there – pay attention to their strengths and help each person become aware of them and use them as much as possible.
  • This step is a reminder to not judge yourself for having differing interests from others, and to not judge others for their interests.   Pushing against difference is usually the root cause of personal and professional conflict.
