  ‍

Course :

Session 1: Individual Motivational Factors
Motivation begins with understanding. Participants learn to distinguish between factors that reduce dissatisfaction and those that truly create motivation, using Herzberg’s matrix (hygiene factors vs. true motivators). They then explore the three dimensions of individual motivation using the Why/What/How framework: Why (the meaning and impact of tasks), What (the technical aspects of the work, development, and novelty), and How (work-life balance and the work environment).

Case Study : Identify the true motivators for each employee across the three dimensions to tailor your management approach rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Session 2: Developing Habits to Foster Motivation Every Day
Motivation isn’t built during a big annual meeting. It’s nurtured by small, regular actions. Participants work on developing automatic behaviors: truly listening even when it’s difficult, practicing appreciative feedback, and publicly recognizing others. They also work on how to communicate more effectively on a daily basis: providing meaning and vision, preparing meaningful messages for meetings, and being transparent when facing challenges.

Case Study : Build your set of managerial habits by identifying specific actions to incorporate into your interactions with the team starting next week.

Session 3: Re-engaging Employees
Some situations require more than just routine actions. Participants learn to distinguish between a temporary slump and the end of a cycle, to re-engage an employee who is losing motivation, and to manage a demotivated team following bad news or disappointing results.

Case Study : Re-energizing a team following negative feedback on collective performance by finding the right message and approach to maintain cohesion and get the team moving again.
