Presentation – Motivation for Individuals and Teams by Guðbjörg Eggertsdóttir

Here’s a holistic, empathetic framework for integrating motivation and performance management in the workplace—designed to support both individuals and teams in a way that’s strategic, human-centered, and adaptable to your facilitation style:

🌟 Dual Pillars: Motivation + Performance Management

Dimension Individual Focus 🌱 Team Focus 🌳
Purpose & Values Align personal values with role and goals Co-create shared mission and team principles
Goal Setting SMART goals with personal meaning Collective OKRs or milestones with clarity
Feedback & Growth Regular, empathetic feedback + development plans Peer feedback, retrospectives, shared learning
Recognition Celebrate effort, progress, and strengths Acknowledge team wins and contributions
Autonomy & Trust Empower choice and ownership Foster psychological safety and shared agency
Monitoring & Support Use check-ins, coaching, and adaptive metrics Use dashboards, rituals, and pulse surveys

💗 Empathy-Infused Practices

  • One-on-One Rituals: Use metaphor cards or bilingual prompts to explore motivation and well-being.
  • Team Energy Mapping: Visualize what energizes or drains the team—then adapt workflows accordingly.
  • Compassionate Performance Reviews: Shift from “evaluation” to “evolution”—what’s growing, what’s ready to shift?
  • Recognition Circles: Invite team members to appreciate each other’s contributions in real time.
