ABSTRACT

Teams require interdependency as life requires oxygen; it seems simple, but it’s not. There are so many factors working against interdependency. Thus, the top performing team will understand motivation and motivators as a routine matter of course, whether they use Motivational Maps or not. High levels of motivation frequently presuppose the acquisition of whatever is needed to deliver the outcomes because such energy drives The Remit. In a top performing team motivation precedes the acquisition of skills. Indeed, the combination of the Searcher/Defender suggests a very process driven approach to customer service, and the Spirit motivator is not that. Finally, although doubtless there is more to be mined from the details, there is the fact that Team Yellow has the Spirit in its top three, whereas Team Orange has the Director entering the fray: Spirit and Director are conflicting motivators, sending one in entirely different directions.
