THE MOTIVATION MATRIX
These 13 statements represent the range of motivations that excite entrepeneurs and non-entrepreneurs alike. Pick that three that matter most to you.
I want a setting that provides a sense of belonging and colleagues I enjoy. Who do I do something with is almost as important as what I do.
I derive satisfaction from helping others with their concerns. I constantly look for ways to make making customers’ and employees’ lives better.
I find supervision very difficult to live with. I want to make my own decisions.
I expect exeptional monetary rewards. That could mean pulling down a fat compensation package, or starting, building and selling a business.
I want work that pushes me to solve problems or master new skills in areas I find intriguing. I prefer to explore further rather than to finish quickly and be done.
I want time and flexibility to enjpy my family, leisure activities, or other things outside of the office. I like control over my schedule and proximity to home
I want to be responsible for and to direct employees. I derive satisfaction from finding, developing, and rewarding talent.
I value the experiences, people and opportunities that put me in position for my next move. I think long- term: how this will lead me to the next, bigger thing.
I want to make important decisions that affect everything from policy to people. I want to be the one who make things happen.
I desire high recognition and respect – generally through my affiliation with a well-known, well-thought-of organization.
I want the opportunity to win praise. I prefer an environment where hard work is appreciated. I feel just as comfortable in a star culture as in a team culture
I value predictable income, benefits, and future employment. Stability (which is to say protection from downsides – upsodes are OK) is very important.
I like to mix the tasks required by my job with activities I find enjoyable, or with the opportunity to seek new challenges.
