Measure What Motivates
A Motivational Map is a psychometric tool designed to identify and measure what truly drives and motivates individuals in the workplace. Unlike personality assessments that focus on behavioural traits.
Motivational Maps help individuals and teams understand their intrinsic motivators, enabling them to enhance engagement, productivity, and job satisfaction.
Through a structured questionnaire, the tool provides insights into the nine key motivators that influence an individual’s energy, performance, and job fulfilment.
Developed by James Sale, Motivational Maps are based on three core influences:
- Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
- Edgar Schein’s Career Anchors
- The Enneagram, a personality profiling tool
The original Motivational Map was developed with the corporate/business world in mind, and thousands of people worldwide complete the Motivational Map every year. Organisations and businesses use the Motivational Map to help inform processes such as Career Management, Recruitment and Selection, Talent Management and Performance Management.
There are hundreds of Licensed Motivational Maps Practitioners globally, working with their clients using Motivational Maps technology for the benefit of organisations and companies in many market sectors.

Motivational Maps Team
Build on the strengths of everyone working together
Most teams are assembled on the basis of relevant and complementary skill sets; what motivates the individuals in the team is often not considered at all. Indeed, conflicts between individuals are often ascribed to ‘personality’ clashes. However, these clashes may well be and often are motivational in origin.
Team Maps enable leaders to be able to determine whether the energies of the team are harmonised with mission, whether there are internal conflicts that need addressing, and finally how to provide rewards that motivate the team: each report contains at least 11 actionable ideas. In short, they enable the team to perform at a higher level.
The team Map supports change management programs by improving communication with a shared language. This creates smoother transitions and staff engagement.
Use this for:
- Change management programs
- Engagement and reward strategies
Managing teams
Benefits and Outcomes:
- Better team work and greater productivity
- Superior leadership skills
- Better recruitment choices
