Discover the unique motivational fingerprint of yourself and everyone in your team.
Discover the unique motivational fingerprint of yourself and everyone in your team.
What organisations and teams do not want are people who go through the motions, uninspired. We also don't want otherwise passionate people who are frustrated and disengaged because we have inadvertently demotivated them. What we want are people who are deeply driven. Yet engagement surveys tell us this latter category are a small minority.
Motivation Explorer has the power to help. This tool allows individuals (and their manager) to understand the Intrinsic motivators that light them up and spark enduring motivation and engagement. It also allows them to identify the Extrinsic factors that can undermine their motivation if neglected.
Motivation Explorer is a discovery tool. The process happens with a physical deck of cards (not a screen). The act of sorting, ranking and rating them creates a rich, tangible conversation about what truly matters to each person.
The results are then captured on the Leadership Engine platform, creating a dashboard and AI-assisted insights and guidance.
Every motivator has a colour-coded back, grouped by category, and a front that names a single, specific driver. Sorting them by hand is what makes the conversation real.

A personalised summary of this person's motivation profile, with specific, practical advice for their leader (generated from their card sort and ratings).
Motivation Explorer is powerful across the entire organisational hierarchy. It's particularly valuable for anyone with direct reports.

Each report is debriefed by Shaun Kenny or Michelle Rushton in a group workshop setting (usually part of a leadership development program, team offsite or conference).
Shaun and Michelle are co-founders of the Leadership Engine platform and the leadership consultancy People of Influence. For over sixteen years they have worked closely with leaders and their teams, helping them get the very best out of their people.
Motivation Explorer pairs with the leadership and team programs that Shaun and Michelle deliver across the globe where entire teams discover what drives them and learn how to lead one another better.
