“Managers and Leaders perform better once they have understood that it is within their power and control to motivate each member of their team to excel.”

Nathalie Ducrot

Drivers

Why Essential Motivation matters?

All employees are unique in what motivates them to perform to their capacity and excel in their profession. Most will do what is expected of them, but the motivated employee will go to great lengths to exceed expectations. The key is for managers to discover what truly drives their people. Once their motivation is understood, leaders have the power to get the most out of their employees.
Managers often feel there is no need to motivate their employees as long as the pay is adequate. Yet research has demonstrated that the majority of personal motivation is based upon a host of other significant factors such as achievement, recognition, responsibility, personal growth, and advancement.
Compensation is certainly a motivating factor, but it is often linked to the prime motivators. A poorly designed compensation plan will cause employees to feel unappreciated as it won’t reflect their personal achievements. Consequently, many employees perceive their compensation to reflect their level of recognition by the organization.

“As a coach and learning facilitator, I have often observed that our common longing for a better life, which prompts us to be more successful, be a better leader, find a better job, etc. is never totally satisfied merely by fulfilling those desires. I believe it reflects a deeper, spiritual need for something more meaningful. Living with Essential Motivation takes us a step in this direction. It is also a powerful force for bringing out the best in ourselves and in others.”

Intrinsic Factors

Who is Essential Motivation for?

  • Managers – newly hired – middle and/or senior
  • High Potentials
  • Leaders
  • Team players
  • HR Managers
  • Coaches

People are centrally concerned with motivation — how to move themselves or others to act. Everywhere parents, teachers, coaches, and managers struggle with how to motivate those that they mentor. Individuals struggle to find the energy, mobilize effort and persist at the tasks of life and work. People are often moved by external factors such as reward systems, grades, evaluations, or the opinions they fear others might have of them.  Yet, just as frequently, people are motivated from within, by interests, curiosity, care or abiding values.  These intrinsic motivations are not necessarily externally rewarded or supported, but nonetheless they can sustain passion, creativity, and great efforts. The interplay between the extrinsic forces acting on persons and the intrinsic motives and needs inherent in human nature is the territory of Essential Motivation.

“However, we define it, Essential Motivation is a highly subjective experience and each person is the judge of his/her Essential Motivation. This is why our task is first to ask questions. What are the critical behaviors that managers must master to engage with their employees? What best practices employees can implement? How do they approach motivation and engagement? And what are organizations doing to support leaders at all levels?”
