Discover what makes your team tick to unleash peak performance and drive extraordinary outcomes
Teams are at their best when they communicate and collaborate effectively, navigate challenges collectively, and align efforts around a common goal — and that happens when every member of the team is deeply engaged, all in, and motivated to win.
Elevate team dynamics to elevate your brand
Organizations large and small rely on their people to advance projects, build momentum, and shape perception. Business owners, executives, and leaders know the fuel that powers every organizational achievement and overall brand growth can be traced back to the skills, productivity, and performance of its teams.
It’s why companies must develop high-performing teams — teams that consistently outperform similar teams and exceed even the boldest expectations.
High performance isn’t guaranteed within teams
Building a strategic team of people who play specific roles and contribute complementary strengths and skills is easy. Building a high-performance team is harder because bringing together individual high performers doesn’t guarantee they’ll function as a high-performing team.
Some teams unite almost effortlessly and thrive under pressure. They leap over hurdles, move faster, work harder, and achieve more, and do it while maintaining superior quality.
Other teams struggle to find synergy and crumble under pressure. They get derailed by obstacles and slowed down by conflict, which negatively affects performance and outcomes.
The truth about workplace teams
Stress and pressure accentuate blind spots, introduce friction, and bring out bad habits. And, when team members don’t understand how their teammates show up and why they are driven to think and act the way they do, it’s harder to connect, collaborate, and show compassion, grace, and empathy.
This dynamic is amplified within distributed workforces and remote teams who collaborate through asynchronous tools and video meetings, as intention, tone, and message are easily misunderstood.
Adding Motivation changes everything…
Motivation in the Workplace
Empower every team to become a high-performing team
What if you knew exactly how to get a team to over-deliver and outperform?
What if you also knew where that team is most likely to encounter challenges, experience conflict, and get stuck?
What if there was a way to turn every team into a high-performing team?
Good news! It’s possible with Motivation Code
Using the MCode assessment helps companies and their people develop higher emotional intelligence, greater self-awareness, and an improved awareness of how their actions affect their coworkers.
Our team workshops and employee engagement software gives organizations the ability to build better teams, leaders the ability to harness the full potential of team members, and teammates the ability to work together efficiently and effectively.
How? By helping team leaders and team members:
Better understand themselves and each other — what lights someone up and gives energy, and what frustrates them and drains energy.
See the unique value each person contributes and respect their workstyles — the processes they follow to perform at their best.
Recognize the factors that impact their individual and team performance — what holds them back and what drives them forward.
Optimize Working Relationships
Every team is different because every person is different
Top teams are built around differences, not similarities. The different strengths and motivations teammates contribute are what gives a team its competitive advantage. When balanced well, these differences create a high-performing team that achieves results others deem unachievable.
But to leverage these differences and create a high-performing team, you first have to know what they are and why they matter.
People who are motivated differently, show up and work differently within a team, and require a different type of leadership. It’s why our Team Workshops start with the MCode assessment and look at each team member individually, and the team as a whole.
Team members discover how they’re wired for success.
They learn how to embrace and step into their natural greatness. They uncover what motivates them to be a high performer, how they are uniquely positioned to contribute maximum value to a team, and what they need to feel deeply fulfilled by their role and work.
Team leaders gain tools to become better leaders.
They own their natural advantages, gifts, and strengths, and use them to lead with confidence. They learn to communicate more effectively, gain faster buy-in, inspire their team, and tailor their leadership approach and assignments to fit each team member.
Teams build trust, stronger relationships, and loyalty.
They take advantage of the strengths each person contributes. They learn to improve collaboration, increase productivity and performance, decrease conflict, and support their teammates so they can rally around shared goals and accelerate results.
MCode stories
Motivated team members motivate team members
High-performing teams are the product of a collective drive to accomplish significant and meaningful outcomes.
When every member of a team is highly motivated and working in their sweet spot of flow, they immerse themselves in tasks, move faster, work harder, and achieve more.
When this dynamic plays out across a team, standards are raised, expectations are elevated, and the impossible becomes impossible — and organizations advance at speeds their competitors marvel at.
The secret to unlocking motivation within teams is Motivation Code
Motivation Code tools provide a powerful framework for understanding the particular dynamics and culture of a team.
The MCode assessment reveals insights individuals need to perform at their best, and how their strengths, motivations, and preferences converge, intersect, and diverge with those of their teammates. It powers our motivation-driven tooling to highlight the potential drivers and derailers of team success.
Skeptical? No problem! Our story-based assessment has been called “scary accurate” and “life-changing” by even the biggest assessment skeptics — and maybe that’s because we didn’t just make this up.
The Motivation Code assessment was first developed more than 60 years ago.
Motivation Code is powered by science, behavioral research, and decades of study on motivation and high performance.
For years, the assessment was only facilitated through 1:1 interviews and its personal growth and professional development impact was a best-kept secret and limited to executives and leaders.
But technology changed the game. With technology, we’ve expanded and scaled the Motivation Code assessment for high-performing teams of all sizes and types, in any industry or vertical worldwide.
We’ve also built a suite of motivation-driven work workplace tools for hiring, employee engagement, team leadership and cohesion, talent development, and employee retention.

Pulse! helps teams stay motivated and maintain momentum as they chase shared goals
Motivation isn’t static. It shifts as work responsibilities shift, projects change, and career goals develop. That’s why we created Pulse! — employee engagement software that measures motivation with monthly Pulse Checks, equips leaders with tools to build strong teams, and highlights potential issues and risks before they become a problem.
Employees complete a simple monthly motivation check-in and leaders receive real-time individual and team engagement data like who is thriving, struggling, or feeling unmotivated or stagnant.
Leaders gain tools to tailor their communication to each team member, assign projects based on who will be most energized by the work, and frame assignments so they are engaging and exciting.
Organizations track motivational trends and employee engagement over time, to identify employees and projects at risk of burnout or disengagement before it becomes a problem and people quit.
