Knowing What Motivates Your Team Members is the Key to Success

VALUES: THE NOT-SO-HIDDEN MOTIVATORS

Why do employees sell, manage, consult, or service customers and clients the way they do?

What prompts their enthusiastic responses - a happy customer, a big sales contract landed, a tough problem solved?

What can you do to capture their enthusiasm and leverage their unique talents? The answers to these questions are all based on Values.

What people value are the drivers behind our behavior. Abstract concepts in themselves, values are principles or standards by which we act. Values are beliefs held so strongly that they affect the behavior of an individual or an organization.

An individual's experiences, references, education, and training tell us WHAT they can do. Behavioral assessments (DISC) tell us HOW they will do it. Knowledge of an individual's values tells us WHY they do what they do. Because values lie beneath observable behavioral styles, values are not discovered until we have known individuals for a long period of time.

We can measure values and what motivates your employees through the use of a highly-validated personality profile instrument called Workplace Motivators.

THE SIX VALUE/MOTIVATIONAL CATEGORIES ARE:
  • Individualistic/Political- The desire for power, influence and control over their own destiny as well as well as that of others

  • Utilitarian/Economic - a characteristic interest in money/utility and return on investment

  • Theoretical - an interest in the discovery of knowledge and an appetite for learning

  • Aesthetic - a relative interest in form, balance, and harmony

  • Social/Altruistic - a keen interest in helping others

  • Traditional/Regulatory - a focused interest in following a specific system for living


OUR PERSONAL INTERESTS, ATTITUDES, AND VALUES REPORTS
We identify six different values categories. These categories represent employee motivators that are present in all corporations, non-profit organizations, associations, education, and government agencies. The instrument behind the report, Motivation Insights®, is highly validated and reliable. Norms have been developed for this instrument from thousands of professionals.

The Personal Interests, Attitudes and Value assessment profile measures your responses in each of the six attitudes.
The computerized report shows each of the six attitudes compared to a recently validated national average. You are provided with information on the motivational "WHY" of your actions which, with application, can positively impact your life.


TTI WORKPLACE MOTIVATORS REPORT
The textual content of the Workplace Motivators report is based on robust statistical analysis, real-time and virtual focus group input, and a database of tens of thousands of people. The personalized report includes:
  • An individualized section explaining the respondent's rankings in:
    • General Characteristics

    • Keys to Managing and Motivating
    • Training, Professional Development and Learning Insights

  • A Team-Building summary to facilitate sharing with team members


YOUR ATTITUDE IS SHOWING WORKSHOPS®
A Your Attitude Is Showing workshop is a great way to get to better understand what gets you and your team members out of bed each morning. This interactive training workshop will take you and your team through the Workplace Motivators report to help you better understand what values motivate yourself and others to perform at high levels.

This training event can also be used as a conflict management tool. When we understand our own values as well as those of others we can better manage and resolve conflict in our organizations.

Another great application of a Your Attitude Is Showing workshop is for diversity training. Team members' values can be incredibly diverse in an organization and this workshop can help to better manage and accept diversity in your organization.

Your Attitude Is Showing workshops also count towards Continuing Education Credit Units certified by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). Check out this flyer for more information
