How To run the exercise Ask participants to come up with as many management actions they can think of that happen in their organization, they heard of, are considering, etc. Write them on sticky post-its. Provide a primer on Drive and the AMP model Meanwhile Draw the diagram from the first slide on a whiteboard / flip chart / several flip charts Ask the participants to come place their actions in the right place in the diagram – each action can be driving/restraining one of the A M P aspects. Ask the participants to look for duplicates and conflicts – actions that they have disagreement/confusion about Have a discussion about the items in disagreement Ask participants what are the actions they are committing to try in order to help drive higher motivation, and what are the actions they are committing to try to stop. One from each category should be enough per participant.
