“As more and more artificial intelligence is entering into the world, more and more emotional intelligence must enter into leadership.” Amit Ray says
Have you ever wondered what separates motivated people from unmotivated people in an organisation? Our firm helps you to remove any doubt on how to get your people motivated. By harnessing each person’s dominant motive disposition (the inner drive which is unique to every person), our firm helps you use self-awareness tools of social motives, which are at the heart of the TAT model. The model helps you to help every person in your organisation to understand their strengths and weaknesses, by pointing out, with certainty, what their dominant motive dispositions are. Motive dispositions primarily assist individuals in determining whether they are optimally placed within the organisation and how they can leverage on those motive dispositions to propel individual and organisational excellence. Behavioural Research has definitively discovered that each individual has one or more of the following social motives as their motive dispositions:
- Achievement
- Power (which also develops in life with the four stages of the social motive’s ego maturity, as follows):
- Dependent Power (Stage I)
- Independent Power (Stage II)
- Assertive Power (Stage III, which also operates on a continuum of two extremes)
- Personalized assertive Power, and
- Socialised Assertive Power
- Interdependent Power
- Affiliation (which has these variations, dependant on the individual’s life circumstances):
- Positive Affiliation
- Anxious Affiliation, and
- Cynical Affiliation
We utilize TAT (Thematic Apperception Test) in our leadership program as well as change management to prepare leaders to lead efficiently as well as to motivate their teams to change rather than imposing change on them, thereby creating a hostile environment.
The TAT is a motivational tool that uses picture story exercises (PSE) to determine each individual’s motive disposition as shown above. The tool is used to help organisations improve each individual’s productivity and effectiveness. In the context of organisational leadership, our TAT solution is adapted to help organisations ensure that delegation of authority is done in a way that recognises’ motivation, which improves productivity and effectiveness, particularly in implementing board of directors’ strategic direction. In helping your organisation to use the TAT, we will host a one day workshop with the board of directors and executives, at which we go through materials relevant for demonstrating each individual’s thought patterns, which are indicative of dominant motive dispositions, helpful in determining delegation parameters.
