Motivational Maps are unique in their simplicity, application and usefulness. By measuring emotional energy they help overcome personal and career development issues, support managers and teams to achieve greater productivity, and strategically can turbo-charge organisational progress…
Motivational Maps could help your business to:
1) Improve team performance
2) Reduce stress and sickness and enhance well-being
3) Improve staff retention
4) Recruit the best candidate for every position
5) Leverage team performance and address motivational issues with team members
6) Impact sales, engagement and culture
7) Provide a common language through which everyone can understand what they want and align with team and organisational objectives
8) Give management an overview of what is really going on with their employees
9) Provide a cost-effective change management tool that actually maps the changes of the whole staff
LeeP Accountants is an owner-managed business with four employees. The team is still relatively new, having been formed in 2018 with employees joining at different stages as the business has grown. A fifth member is currently out on maternity leave.
Staffing changes can have a big impact the dynamics of the team, especially a small one.
I used Motivational Maps with the Leep Accountants team, starting with the Polly, the owner, before extending to the other team members.

I spent a day with the team, going through their individual reports with them on a 1:1 basis, before bringing the team together to review the team report. This prompted an interesting team discussion with some insightful aspects revealed as a result. Some follow up actions were agreed that will hopefully make a big different to the satisfaction of the individuals as well as the overall team satisfaction and effectiveness.
I look forward to revisiting the team later in the year to understand how the identified changes have played out.
