In studying hundreds of thousands of people from countries around the world, researchers at Burnham Rosen Group discovered that of the 300 positive motives that influence people’s behavior, 80% of all people are driven by some combination of just three motives. And more than 9 out of 10 white-collar professionals are internally motivated by the same three. For most of us, one or more of these three motivations influence your thoughts and actions:

  • Achievement
  • Affiliation
  • Impact (also known as Power)

In this episode, Jesse discusses how these motives that have a direct and definite impact on your success as a leader — and the success of each person on your team. Find out how the Impact motive can help you engage employees and other stakeholders.
