What makes people tick
How can I understand what makes people tick?
Getting an insight in what motivates a person provides a real opportunity to effectively engage with them.
Intrinsic focuses not on the 'extrinsic' motivators such as salary or bonuses - these can be assessed during an interview - but the deep-rooted internal drivers - for example their preference when working within a structure, or working independently.
Once you have this information, you can match the motivational drivers to a particular role, to determine whether that role will give them that 'buzz' to work well.
