The Motivation Blueprint: Designing Work That Fuels Energy, Growth, and Commitment

The Motivation Blueprint, is a design and implementation manual for managers and leaders. It guides you to create and foster motivational work environments that ultimately lead to higher performing teams. This book delves into tasks like goal setting, performance appraisals, expectation setting, and even having difficult conversations. In other words, it is a blueprint for what leaders and managers can do to support motivation. It provides checklists, frameworks, examples, scenarios, and tools you can immediately apply to your work as you support the three basic psychological needs all humans have-autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Based on the rigorously researched theory of Self-Determination, this book also addresses those high-impact activities at a systems level as they pertain to processes, politics, power, ethics, DEI, and all with psychological safety as the underpinning foundation. Authored by Matthew Richter with decades of experience successfully integrating SDT into practical business practice, The Motivation Blueprint is the atlas that crosses the entirety of what a manager and leader should consider, do, and ultimately master.
