Blanchard^® Releases Essential Motivators^™—a Framework for Understanding Ourselves and Others

JANUARY 2023

Discovering Your Authentic Motivators at Work

Have you ever thought about what really motivates you at work—and what motivates others?

A little bit of self-discovery might be the key to reengaging a workforce that wants a more fulfilling employee experience in the new year, says Courtney Harrison, a master facilitator of The Ken Blanchard Companies’ new Essential Motivators™ learning journey.

“It begins with knowing yourself—knowing what motivates you and being able to honor your values,” says Harrison. “The next step is to understand others and what motivates them.”

People might be out of practice with identifying motivators, says Harrison. “The demands of the past three years have put an emphasis on results. And while people have recognized the need for increased meaning and purpose in their work, solutions have been harder to identify.”

Harrison believes part of the answer is to dig down beneath the surface of your goals, deadlines, and incentives and discover what truly motivates you.
