Success Insights - Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values

Understanding a person's behavioral style answers the question, "How will they do the job?" Knowing a person's values answers the question, "Why will they do the job?" The why behind your staff's behavior and actions determines what motivates them to make certain choices and take certain actions.   What is the source of their desire to become involved in certain activities - or to avoid them? Why is cash not a big motivator for everyone? The answers lie deep within their unique set of personal interests, attitudes, and values. People are not productive when their values are not in line with what the job. Values and attitudes help to initiate one's behavior and are sometimes called the hidden motivators because they are not always readily observed. This report helps to understand the driving forces behind their decisions and is often used as a key part of the selection process and designing effective recognition programs. Identifying their values is important to understanding why your B players may not be money-motivated, what they need to be motivated and how to improve your recognition program.
