The discussion questions worked really well! As did the ranking exercise – that really demonstrated the different priorities we have.

I had already done some work with the groups that I used this with around personality types and their answers to the ranking exercised helped endorse this work too! I did find a great sample slide on the internet showing the hygiene and motivating factors that really brought Hertzberg to life.

Easy to use, experiential activity great for managers of all levels!

Used this exercise on management programmes to help delegates understand that there are a number of factors which affect our inherent motivation. It builds very well on understanding different people styles as then the group can understand why there are variances in their responses. Again, as with so many other modules, the exercise was simple in execution, did not need "specialist" equipment and provided the learning points easily and readily. This exercise generates great discussion around motivation and how, as managers, we need to tap into something beyond just financial reward.
