Where do people fit in a team?

Our ability to function effectively with others in a team is down to a number of factors, which include personality traits, attitudes, behaviours and preferred roles.

One of the most important factors, often almost completely overlooked, is the motivational profile of the individual and of the individual compared with the team profile.

For teams to grow and thrive they need to be aware of each other’s motivational profile and be able to fuel the motivators of other team members.

Becoming a Business Practitioner is a big step, but the rewards are also tremendous. We wanted to speak with our BPs and get a sense of what they felt the biggest challenges and rewards of being a BP were, as well as foreground the amazing work they do.

“The organisations that are really going to thrive out of this are the ones that recognise there are certain people who can work remotely, and there are certain people who can’t. It’s all about energy. If I haven’t got it, if I’m sat at home with low motivation, I’m not going to be able to operate effectively. It just underlines what a massive opportunity this is.” Richard Knight

Mapping Motivation for Leadership
by James Sale & Jane Thomas

There is an increasing body of evidence, that the single most important aspect of being a leader relates to managing emotions effectively, and this management goes way beyond simply ‘understanding’ emotional intelligence; it is in fact a practice and one that is intimately connected with personal development and growth, and with energy. Energy, as Mapping Motivation made clear, is synonymous with motivation. The effective leaders of tomorrow will be those who understand their motivators, who regularly measure their motivators, sustain and replenish and maximise their motivators, and who do the same for their employees.

Mapping Motivation for Leadership is deeply wise guidance for leaders at all levels and activities. Included are immediately useful tools and practical pathways for growth. With exceptional clarity, James Sale and Jane Thomas laser in on the particular motivations of leaders and those they work with. He aims to create people-centered collaboration, which leads to innovation and self-awareness. A terrific book, highly recommended.

Mapping Motivation for Engagement
by James Sale & Steve Jones

Employee engagement is undeniably a crucial focus point for organisations in the twenty-first century, with motivation comprising the often missing, but vital, component of the developmental mix. Mapping Motivation for Engagement advocates a new paradigm for the twenty-first century: away from hierarchies and command-and-control management styles, towards a bottom-up approach in which the needs and motivators of the employees take centre stage. This book is a practical guide to the complexities of understanding and dealing with engagement in modern organisational life. Mapping Motivation for Engagement is a stimulating and thought-provoking read for a wide audience including, but not limited to, trainers and coaches working in management and motivation, experts in human resources, internal learning and development and organisational development as well as change and engagement consultants and specialists.

I believe that this book is the most valuable contribution to Organisation Development in the past 10 years. I liked all the useful figures and diagrams in your book. Chapter 5 “Engaging Managers, motivation, skills and recruitment” is really helpful for scaling the various businesses that I am involved with. Chapter 8 “Employee engagement, integrity and change” will be particularly valuable to our Chief Executive clients of the Scale Programme because it will inspire and assist them to cope with both the huge complexity and high inertia in large companies.

Mapping Motivation for Coaching
by James Sale & Bevis Moynan

This book is a practical guide to understanding how personal and career development is underpinned by motivation, and how coaching and mapping are perfectly complementary activities. More specifically, it shows how using Motivational Maps within an accepted coaching framework can not only accelerate the process in order to achieve results for the client more quickly, but also go deeper, both in mutual understanding and also the possibility of facilitating a successful outcome; for the client not only needs to understand their issue more effectively through the coaching process, but also needs to be motivated to want to take significant action to deal with it.

Understanding, then, is one thing, but having the energy for follow-through is another, and it is precisely in this area that combining Maps with coaching techniques is so powerful. This highly original approach will enable all coaches everywhere in the world to get into the heart of their clients’ issues faster, better, and be able to help them solve these issues more easily.

As a mapper myself I very much enjoyed this book and the way it has been integrated with elements of NLP, Pareto Law and the Grow Model to name a few. Insightful, engaging and resourceful; this book is ideal for the coach who is serious about their own Continued Professional Development as well as looking into the client drivers that lead to change, growth and achievement in both life and work.

Mapping Motivation by James Sale

Ever wondered what motivation is, and why organizations do not and cannot - until now - measure it? James Sale tackles the question of what motivation is, why we need it and what happens when we don’t have it. He defines and measures motivation from an individual, team and, most critically, organizational or workplace point of view and he introduces the reader to the core concepts of how it relates to fundamental issues such as performance and productivity, and its role in a number of key management functions: team building, performance appraisal, leadership development, engagement and change management. Motivation is a core aspect of all people development initiatives and programmes - if we wish them to succeed.
