iWAM has arrived...
I have come across a fantastic profiling tool, called iWAM. An unusual acronym I know, but it simply stands for Inventory of Work Attitudes and Motivations. It measures the key drivers and motivators within you in your current role. It was founded in Belgium and now coaches, trainers and HR departments globally are becoming accredited in it with already over 39 major companies in
Australia adopting the tool.
How often do you ever stop and look at why you do what you do?
What drives you? What drives and motivates those around you at work?
If you knew how to further understand and motivate your employees or colleagues imagine how powerful your relationships and results could be?
iWAM is a 40 item questionnaire that you fill out online.
You will then be offered reports on your results in a format that you decide upon. If you love detail we have an in depth summary for you, if you would like a 1 page snap shot in a graph format we have that for all you visuals out there. We then would look at key areas of focus, current job fit and how to utilise your patterns even more.
In a nutshell, iWAM measures the 48 Metaprograms or in simple terms, the 48 sorting devices or patterns that determine the way you think, feel and behave. These processes are usually taking place without you even knowing it but imagine if you could be aware of what, they are and be able to see what other people are.
Every iWAM is a unique fingerprint. There is no right or wrong but being aware of where you operate in each pattern can assist you in understanding yourself and others better.
So what does iWAM measure?
It looks at how much initiative you have at work?
How motivated are you to solve problems?
How often will you need a change in your work to remain motivated?
Are you difficult to convince-what strategy convinces you?
What are your primary drivers at work?
Learn from the past/vision for the future?
How do you make decisions?
How much attention do you have for detail?
Do you have a big picture focus?
Do you generate alternatives or prefer to follow procedure?
And much more………
iWAM measures YOUR % of each of the 48 patterns against the Australian average, you can also be measured against your team or even a co-worker or business partner.
I will give you an example of one pair of patterns, which one are you?
Goal Oriented Vs Problem Solving
Goal Oriented
Do you always talk about achieving and talk about your actual goal?
Do you look at pleasure and possibility? Look at what you will have?
This may be you or someone you know, these people are usually in roles like sales/Marketing and so on. They strive for success and like a carrot dangling in front of them to keep them motivated. For those who know me this is me!
Problem Solving
Do you look for and tend to focus on the risks?
Do you focus on what could go wrong and therefore move away from possible pain?
You may tend to focus on solving problems or avoiding what could go wrong as opposed to focusing on the overall outcome.
These people usually sort for potential risk and pitfalls and sometimes need to be reminded to keep focusing on achieving their outcomes, as they can be more motivated by putting out fires. This sort of person would normally suit a service support area and can be a great addition to a brain storming session to point out the feasibility of the goal.
iWAM does not put you in a box as do other profiling tools in the market. iWAM looks not only at what you can do but what you WILL do in your current role. It does not measure personality types but instead your key drivers and motivators in the work context.
At the end of March you will be able to have your iWAM done through Metamorphose Coaching!
