The Motivation Code: Discover the Hidden Forces That Drive Your Best Work

The best book out there for developing your self-understanding of why it is that some work environments cause you to leap out of bed and hop onto your Zoom meetings with energy, creativity, and joy. And why others make you pull up the covers and wish the day would go away. But it\’s so much more than getting to know yourself better. This book shows you how to leverage your distinctive motivational pattern to build greater levels of competence, capacity and capability for consistently excellent performance, whether you are a one-person shop, a team member, or a leader who seeks to bring out the very best in those you have the privilege to serve. For years I\’ve followed the work of the good folks behind The Motivation Code. I\’ve taken the MCODE assessment, been coached on my motivational pattern, gotten certified as an MCODE Motivation Code Coach, and use it with all my clients. MCODE is an incredible tool. And this book is an incredible introduction to the art and science of motivation. I recommend The Motivation Code without hesitation!

At the beginning of this book the authors will ask you to take the motivation code assessment before continuing on. You can take it for free on the website. The free version will give you your top three motivations (out of a list of 27). You also have the option of purchasing the full report for $49. I highly recommend doing this as it is very insightful. Most of the book then goes through each of the 27 motivations in detail. When I first started reading it, I thought it might get boring reading through a lot of things that didn’t apply to me. However, I purchased the full report which showed me how all 27 of the motivations ranked for me. There were only a few that felt like they totally didn’t resonate with me at all. For all the rest I could see how they fit in my ranking. This book opened my eyes to things about myself I hadn’t gotten from other assessment tools I’ve done (i.e. DiSC, Kolbe, Strengths Finder, etc.). I even had my team take the assessment so I could write their names in the book under their top three motivations. This will help me know how to work with and manage them better. If you’re interested in learning more about yourself and better understanding some of the people you work with, I highly recommend this book. It’s one of my favorites so far this year!

Reading and applying Todd Henry\’s book The Motivation Code is a joy. I am discovering helpful insight about what moves and drives me to act. This book is affecting my the way I do my job, serve in my church and community, fulfill a dream and even potential change in my marriage. Well worth the cost of the book and time to read it. Thank you, Todd Henry and team.

Like holding up a mirror to my soul! Understanding my core motivations has helped me see where and why I experience frustration as well as when and how I\’m at my best – in all aspects of life. And they\’re incredibly accurate! The Motivation Code is rich in details about each of the 27 motivations as well as helpful applications and examples. I can see each of my top motivations coming to life in work, relationships, and community through Todd Henry\’s descriptions, and I know I\’ll be able to use these insights for years to come!

I give my highest recommendations to The Motivation Code. After going through through the free Motivation Code assessment (provided in the book), I have discovered my most driving motivations. This book expounds on how you and your motivational strengths can be maximized while mitigating the risk of your motivational weaknesses. I am confident that this book will help you gain a greater understanding of the forces that drive you and those around you. Whether you are a manager, leader, salesperson or anyone who wants to understand the why behind their desires, this book will help you chart previously unknown waters with understanding and clarity.
