What are Moving Motivators?

Moving Motivators is an exercise from Management 3.0. The ten cards — together the CHAMPFROGS model — represent intrinsic motivators. By ranking them you discover what drives you (or your team) most.

How to do the exercise

  1. Rank the cards from most to least important.
  2. Discuss why your top cards matter.
  3. Consider whether an upcoming change strengthens or weakens those motivators.

When to use it?

Ideal during a retrospective, a one-on-one conversation or during big changes in a team.
