Is focusing on skills ever enough?
Most companies, after setting their vision (the "WHAT"), try to boost performance by providing resources. For human resources, this means hiring people with the right skills and investing heavily in their training (the "HOW"). They test for these skills at great expense. But is that truly enough?
If everyone is so skilled, why do we see masses of talented people, in companies with clear goals, who are not working with heart and soul? Why are the expected results failing to materialize?
The missing link is motivation—the answer to the question, "WHY should I want to achieve that goal?" Motivation is the inner fire, the internal energy that drives people to work towards a goal with their full potential. The direction (WHAT), the skills (HOW), and the motivation (WHY) together determine an individual's contribution.
In fact, individual motivation is far more important than skills. It determines if someone even wants to improve their skills, connect with the company's vision, or commit long-term. Skills can be acquired if a person is motivated. The reverse is not true: a highly skilled person will not grow if they are unmotivated.
Make Motivation visible
With Motivational Maps®, motivation can be measured, making the performance potential of every part of the organization visible and quantifiable. The expected output from your workforce becomes as understandable and predictable as any other business metric. A motivational mapping process, led by a certified expert, also reveals how to increase that motivation, allowing you to maximize organizational performance.
The Formula for Business Success: If the company's vision is clear and employees can fully align with it, then Performance = Skills x Motivation.
For any individual with a given skill set, you can multiply their effectiveness by increasing their motivation. A less-skilled but highly motivated person can easily outperform a disengaged expert. The same applies to teams: by developing a team's collective motivators, you boost its overall effectiveness.
