Ever wondered what motivation is, and why organizations do not and
cannot - until now - measure it? James Sale tackles the question of
what motivation is, why we need it and what happens when we don't
have it. He defines and measures motivation from an individual,
team and, most critically, organizational or workplace point of
view and he introduces the reader to the core concepts of how it
relates to fundamental issues such as performance and productivity,
and its role in a number of key management functions: team
building, performance appraisal, leadership development, engagement
and change management. Motivation is a core aspect of all people
development initiatives and programmes - if we wish them to
succeed. Based on over ten years of research into motivation and
performance, James created Motivational Maps, the first and only
accurate diagnostic tool that describes, measures, monitors and
maximizes motivation and performance through an easy, simple to
use, online questionnaire that takes only 10 minutes to complete,
and which readers have access to. Mapping Motivation, therefore, is
the definitive book on motivation, its language and metrics,
written by its creator are full of knowledge, insight and practical
tips; this will appeal to leaders, managers, HR specialists,
trainers, coaches, consultants and visionaries around the world,
who wish to engage with people development and productivity in a
new, dynamic way.

Mapping Motivation for Leadership, co-written with Jane Thomas, is
the fourth of a series of seven books that are all linked to the
author's Motivational Map toolkit. Each book builds on a different
aspect of personal, team and organisational development. This is a
practical guide to leadership in the 21st century and builds on the
'4+1' model outlined in the author's original book Mapping
Motivation: Unlocking the Key to Employee Energy and Engagement.
There is an increasing body of evidence, that the single most
important aspect of being a leader relates to managing emotions
effectively, and this management goes way beyond simply
'understanding' emotional intelligence; it is in fact a practice
and one that is intimately connected with personal development and
growth, and with energy. Energy, as Mapping Motivation made clear,
is synonymous with motivation. The effective leaders of tomorrow
will be those who understand their motivators, who regularly
measure their motivators, sustain and replenish and maximise their
motivators, and who do the same for their employees. Clearly, there
is a link here with the book on engagement, for leaders who do so
will engage their employees. However, this book not only covers the
motivational side of leadership, but also explores in detail the
skill sets necessary in the '4+1' model: thinking skills, action
skills, team skills and motivational skills plus that indefinable
'something' that is a commitment to personal development, so that
we as leaders are not trying to solve today's problems with
yesterday's training as our only internal resource.
Mapping Motivation for Top Performing Teams is the final volume in
a series of books that are all linked to the author's Motivational
Map toolkit. Each book builds on a different aspect of personal,
team and organisational development. This book, using the
Motivational Map, the Team Motivational Map, as well as the
Organisation Motivational Map, is a practical guide to
understanding how team dynamics and success are hugely influenced
by motivational factors, which are not usually taken into account.
The book is a deeper exploration of team mapping which occurs in
Chapter 6 of Mapping Motivation (2015), Chapter 6 of Mapping
Motivation for Engagement (with Steve Jones, 2019), and Chapter 6
of Mapping Motivation for Leadership (with Jane Thomas, 2020). But
whereas these chapters only touched on specific aspects of team
dynamics, this book covers the issues more comprehensively; it also
attempts to avoid replication of materials, although there are
bound to be small overlaps. It covers not only how motivations
affect team productivity and how this can be boosted through
targeted Reward Strategies, but also how 'mapping' provides
profounder insights into the four key characteristics of top
performing teams: the clear remit, vital interdependency, strong
belief, and real accountability. How Motivational Maps covers these
areas, we believe to be original, eye-opening and effective in the
management of change. Further, as always with Motivational Maps,
its language and metrics raise self-awareness at an individual and
team level, and so can help resolve conflicts through its common
and non-judgmental language. Managing teams is the key skill of
managers: thus this book is a handbook for managers everywhere who
wish to excel at management, for without bringing their teams on
board (i.e. motivating their teams), they are not effectively
managing.
Employee engagement is undeniably a crucial focus point for
organisations in the twenty-first century, with motivation
comprising the often missing, but vital, component of the
developmental mix. Mapping Motivation for Engagement advocates a
new paradigm for the twenty-first century: away from hierarchies
and command-and-control management styles, towards a bottom-up
approach in which the needs and motivators of the employees take
centre stage. Co-written with Steve Jones, this is the third in a
series of books that are all linked to the author James Sale's
Motivational Map diagnostic tool. Each book builds on a different
aspect of personal, team and organisational development. This book
is a practical guide to the complexities of understanding and
dealing with engagement in modern organisational life. Along with
clear diagrams, reflective points, activities and a comprehensive
index, the book provides free access to the online Motivational Map
tool to facilitate a greater understanding of the contents. Drawing
on copious amounts of the latest research, as well as models like
the Macleod Report for the UK government, this book shows how
Mapping Motivation can play a significant and crucial role in
making engagement a reality, instead of a dream. Mapping Motivation
for Engagement is a stimulating and thought-provoking read for a
wide audience including, but not limited to, trainers and coaches
working in management and motivation, experts in human resources,
internal learning and development and organisational development as
well as change and engagement consultants and specialists.

Mapping Motivation for Coaching, co-written with Bevis Moynan, is
the first of a series of six books that are all linked to the
author's Motivational Map toolkit. Each book builds on a different
aspect of personal, team, and organisational development. This book
is a practical guide to understanding how personal and career
development is underpinned by motivation, and how coaching and
mapping are perfectly complementary activities. More specifically,
it shows how using Motivational Maps within an accepted coaching
framework can not only accelerate the process in order to achieve
results for the client more quickly, but also go deeper, both in
mutual understanding and also the possibility of facilitating a
successful outcome; for the client not only needs to understand
their issue more effectively through the coaching process, but also
needs to be motivated to want to take significant action to deal
with it. Understanding, then, is one thing, but having the energy
for follow-through is another, and it is precisely in this area
that combining Maps with coaching techniques is so powerful. This
highly original approach will enable all coaches everywhere in the
world to get into the heart of their clients' issues faster,
better, and be able to help them solve these issues more easily.

In this new title, James Sale, author of Mapping Motivation and
creator of the Motivational Map, explores the mythical triumphs and
tribulations of the workplace, how to stay motivated on the quest
of life, and how to overcome the monsters and obstacles that
way-lay us. This guide is essential not only for Maps
practitioners, but anyone seeking to become a modern day Odysseus
and find their way home.
The son is the image of the father and this is true in more than a
biological sense: where there is true affinity the interests, the
emotions and the very spirits align. To say the 'image' is to use a
word germane to poetry: the image, the imagination, and the point
of creation itself.
On the 23rd July 2011 I collapsed in the car as my wife was driving
me to visit my mother and brother in Essex. I was taken to hospital
and there for about three months, with brief interludes, I
remained. I had two major operations lasting over 5 hours each. Two
sarcomas were removed, one the size of a grapefruit, the other the
size of an avocado, both in my small intestine, and one very
dangerously placed. Some 30% of my small intestines were removed
and then for nearly five weeks I couldn't eat or even drink water.
I lost over 56 pounds in weight and became remarkably weak. In the
darkness, the light of the Spirit shone and I felt the healing, and
knew from the revelation that was given me that I would leave that
hospital, for as my son, Joseph, subsequently said: my mission was
not yet done. These poems, then, are the fruit of that experience.
I have been writing poems for over 45 years and if anything could,
death has deepened my sense of vocation around the magic and the
healing power of words.
This collection, first heard at the marvellous Storm Restaurant in
Poole (see back pages for more on Storm - a must for gourmets
everywhere!) - is the result of a collaboration between two
friends, James Sale and David Orme. Their friendship is exactly 30
years old, and despite having written over a dozen books together
on poetry teaching, Shakespeare and the like, this is undoubtedly
their best book and legacy. That it was first performed at Storm is
highly appropriate: what better place to perform poems and stories
that move the soul than a place where food and wine captivate the
palate? Alongside the poems of James and David, we have included
two favourite classics of rhythm and rhyme which we performed on
the night: Kubla Khan and an extract from Alfred Noyes' The
Highwayman. Poems and stories speak to the hearts of us because
narrative is a primary act of mind. Contact us if you'd like to
know more.
To Be a Pilgrim is the sixth major collection of poetry by James
Sale, and explores his increasing preoccupation with religious and
spiritual themes: the journey, in fact, towards death in which we
are all pilgrims.
Listening's motivational power, motivation and meditation,
establishing your purpose and transforming the self - read James'
journey into the heart of things.
