MOTIVATIONAL MAPPING
Making Maps work for you 2
WHAT IS MOTIVATIONAL MAPPING ?Motivational Maps deal with states which are changing and dynamic It is a self-perception inventory, which gives an insight into the core motivation of a person. The three primary sources used to develop the Maps are Maslow, Edgar Schein and the Enneagram. They are used by many large organisations in the UK as part of their annual staff appraisal.
HOW DOES IT WORK ?The map is an on-line questionnaire,taking around 15 minutes to complete. This produces a 14 page report using a cluster analysis that identifies what motivates the individual, how strong the need is and the degree to which it is currently being met, thereby forming the starting point for the instigation of powerful and empowering professional and personal intervention strategies.
WHY DOES IT WORK ?A Motivational Map is not a personality test or a psychometric profile. A map demonstrates the alignment of our purpose, with our skills and knowledge and motivation, unlocking the power within to achieve goals, secure relationships and to grow personally and professionally, while meeting the needs of the individual, the team and the organisation in a focused, non-confrontational manner.Motivational Maps have established that there are nine motivators in the human psyche, present at all times; but in different combinations and intensities because we all have different but stable personalities different and complex values, and different and many divergent expectations.They are in three groups of three, Relationships, Achievement and Growth. Along with the names for the three types of motivators there are names for the nine motivators themselves as seen in the diagram below. The important point is the shared language makes this a powerful model where we can exactly describe – and so make ‘visible’ – the invisible qualities of motivation. It is because there has been no real language to describe motivation before that it has been largely avoided in business and organisational life, it’s too nebulous and vague. This can now change: we have a language.

“Motivational Maps have allowed
me to hold difficult conversations
(ones I may formerly have avoided)
in a highly professional manner,
achieving the best outcomes for
the schools and for the individual
concerned.”
David Harding. Executive Head,
Griffin Schools Trust
STAFF APPRAISAL
The Motivational Map provides an opportunity for self-review and thereafter a focus for clarifying needs, opportunities, actions and outcomes. Members of the academic staff complete a Motivational Map prior to their pre-appraisal meeting.
A TEAM MAP is produced placing each individual into the current team. The interplay between members of the team profile indicates how they interact.
Medium and Senior leaders frequently utilise a team map in order to review the operational effectiveness of their team and their management strategies in order to support departmental development in the context of the school development plan.
APPLICATION
• Engagement in the appraisal process rises as the Motivational Map makes
the process personal and pertinent to the individual, meeting their personal
and professional needs while achieving the needs of the school
• The individual takes possession of their appraisal targets and are therefore90% more likely to achieve them as they have a need to do so—it becomes
something they want to do rather than some-thing which is done to them
• Motivational Maps reduce the time spent in appraisal meetings by 50% as
discussion and target setting conversations become highly focused on need,
actions and outcomes
• Appraisal meetings become less stressful and confrontational because theyare based on the needs of the individual, reviewing their Achievement,their Growth and their Relationships within a professional context in a non–
judgmental manner. The well being of staff therefore increases

“ I just wanted to share with you that
we have made an appointment: we are
so excited that we have made a great
choice! Your help and support has been
invaluable– we could not believe how
accurate the shortlisted candidates
Motivational Maps were, and your sug-
gested questions for the interview
panel were illuminating. We cannot
thank you enough.”
Caroline Skipper, Headteacher. Hull.
RECRUITMENT
Shortlisted candidates complete a Motivational Map and the outcomes
are reviewed against the job specifications and the envisaged role. A
team report is drawn up placing each candidate into the current team.
The interplay between members of the team profile indicates how they
will interact and allows key, performance related questions to be
provided to the selection board. The questions cut through any personal
interview preparation and CV details, illuminating the behaviours and
attitudes of the individual which will influence his or her effectiveness in
their role.
APPLICATION
Increased levels of confidence in candidate selection
More incisive interview questioning and discussion
Higher take up on offers
Lower drop out rate
Increased staff retention rate
Lower recruitment costs
Lower staff induction costs
Less time wasted

“I’ve found using Motivational
Maps as a team building exercise,
very insightful. They expose the
dynamics of the team and identify
any gaps that hold the team back
from delivering peak performance."
Kriss Akabusi, MBE, Director, The Akabusi Company.
• Effective communication
• Understanding the viewpoint of others'• Effective creation of clearly defined roles, responsibilities
and accountabilities
• Creating a clear understanding of the operating styles and
needs of other team members• Monitoring the effectiveness and well being of the team in a
positive, non-confrontational manner• Supporting the team leader in creating effective performance
boosting intervention strategies
Key to the process of change is creating awareness of the current
situation, engendering a need in the team to change. Identifying and
communicating a clear strategic direction. Motivational Maps will identify the roles , the inter-reliance, responsibilities and
accountabilities to make this happen.
To be effective as an organization the four core areas need to interact
and support each other ; Finance, Marketing & Sales, Operations and
People. All organisations depend on their people.
What drives their skill and knowledge; their loyalty; commitment and
engagement; their ideas and innovation and their energy?
Their motivation.
Motivational Maps are a new language and metric by which to de-
scribe and measure motivation.

“ I have always been fascinated by
how we can show the invisible pro-
gress and development children
make beyond their visible grades.
Sale and Turner have achieved this:
they have provide a script with which
leaders can monitor teaching
performance and teachers canmonitor and
report on their
pupils learning
performance.
The Motivational
Map offers a
blue print for
where the energy
lies in a teacher and a learner.”
Andrew Hammond. Headteacher.
YOUTH MAPPING
As school leaders what we seek to do, "Is to create the conditions in which a person feels disposed to be intrinsically motivated. And that is possible. But first you need to know what motivates a teacher or a child, because we are not all motivated by the same aspirations or activities. This, surely, is one of the most important tasks for a teacher - to help her students identify what motivates them, deep down. It has taken me many years to realise that achieving what you want is almost always possible; it's knowing what you want that's the hard part". Andrew Hammond-Invisible Ink Series, Book 3. John Catt Publishers.

MEDIATION USING MAPS When an issue with staff/parents/students has grown into a problem where the school have exhausted all avenues and have reached a point where there is no longer any discussion, where there seems to be no answer but extreme measures, facilitative mediation could be the answer.
We offer a new approach using the Motivational Maps to reach a new understanding where the parties come together with no agenda. The mediator will instigate process of exploring the interests, needs and con-
cerns of each party, allowing the parties themselves to generate options for mutually agreed resolution.The mediator is trained to be impartial and will not advise any person or offer any opinions.
It starts with a decision by the people involved to explore options using Motivational Maps as a resource. This process gives a clear picture of the underlying misunderstanding and enables a wider discussion around the perceived problem.
One day of facilitative mediation could take away the stress all concerned experience when there is a constant battle undermining everyone's ability to solve an issue that affects life in school.
APPLICATION
• Gives the individuals concerned a new insight
• Enables a wider discussion not directly related to the problem
• A map will highlight the source of the problem
• Increased confidence in the parties involved
• Lower resistance to the solution
• Increased confidence with a mutually agreed answer
