PM Insight Sunnyvale Virtual Meeting - Learn the Nine Intrinsic Motivations of Teammates

One of the biggest challenges for project managers is understanding what motivates their team members. Likely, project managers have a good idea of what motivates themselves, and they may project their own motivation onto others. That strategy may or may not work. Some individuals may have completely different motivations, and the manager may struggle to understand those differences. The Enneagram is a tool that describes nine distinct personality styles, each with a distinct - and distinctly different - motivation. By knowing the Enneagram style of team members, and by understanding each person’s intrinsic motivation, a project leader can individually motivate team members to complete assignments.
