Knowing and understanding your own drives is critical to your personal development. Understanding others' drives provides leads for improving your team and organization. Drives determine what and why people do what they do.
Knowing and understanding your own drives is critical to kicking off and managing your personal development journey in the best possible way.
Drives are great for understanding why people do what they do, but they are also super for guiding group processes. Drives drive behavior and have a great influence on the synergy and job satisfaction of people. Drives are not a goal in themselves, drives are a vehicle to get something done. By responding cleverly to drives, you can influence people's behavior and achieve a cultural change.
With knowledge of drives, you can predict the direction of each individual or group. You can also reason out how to influence so that the route becomes different, more fun, nicer, smoother, more direct, more successful or more inclusive.
You can use drives to estimate what people as individuals or groups think of something or will do in a given situation. The predictive nature of matching and colliding drives - between a person and other people, task, assignment, purpose, setting or even a (new) product or text - provides leads for acceleration and improvement.
Think of applications such as assessing risks around compliance, putting together teams or during a merger where you want to "calculate" the degree of click beforehand, getting all the people involved in a change process, recruitment & selection. Drives logic has added value for processes where gut feeling can go wrong, because it makes them more data-driven.
