In-company leadership training
Systemic Motivation at Work™
A 3-module programme for managers who want
to rebuild their team's drive, and keep it.
Six months ago, your most reliable team member was carrying the team. Today, they do the bare minimum ... and you never saw it coming.
The team still follows instructions, but nobody suggests anything any more.
Annual reviews say everything is fine. Yet two people have left in six months.
These aren't people problems. They're symptoms of the system.
In 3 modules, your managers learn to read, measure and restore team mobilisation, with tools they can apply the very next day.
This program is for you if…
- Your engagement scores are flat despite raises, perks and team-building events.
- Your managers are technically strong, but powerless against quiet disengagement.
- You lose key people without warning.
- Your teams do the job. But initiative, mutual support and energy are gone.
Why the usual fixes don’t work
Raises, perks, one-to-one coaching. All of these target individuals. But motivation doesn’t live inside people’s heads. It comes out of the work system itself: the rituals, the clarity of purpose, the fairness, the autonomy, the recognition. As long as your managers treat demotivation as an individual problem, they’re treating the symptom and leaving the cause untouched.
The cost of doing nothing
One unwanted departure costs six to nine months of salary in recruitment, onboarding and lost productivity. Quiet disengagement costs even more, because it never shows up in your dashboards. This programme costs less than a single prevented departure.

THE PROGRAM
Three modules, one progression
From reading the system, to measuring it, to acting on it. Each module answers a question every manager has asked at some point.
STEP 1
Read the system
“Why has my team stopped responding?”
The 4 families of motivators (material needs, relationships, professional expectations, societal engagement). In the Engage Yourself® serious game, each participant maps their own motivational landscape. The Stimulation – Motivation – Mobilisation distinction. The 3 levels of mobilisation: Compliance → Commitment → Mission.
Outcome: your managers stop guessing about what motivates people and start reading the system — its signals, conditions, and dynamics.
STEP 2
Measure and anticipate
“How do I detect disengagement before the resignation letter?”
The biology of motivation: stress, reward, timing. The SMTP barometer (Satisfaction, Motivation, Trust, Pride): a simple, operational way to measure and track team climate. The 3 individual drivers: autonomy, competence, self-confidence. Psychological safety, recognition and feedback practices.
Outcome: diagnostic tools to assess team health and spot risks before they become departures.
STEP 3
Act sustainably
“How do I re-mobilise the team without rebuilding everything?”
Collaboration (within the team) vs cooperation (between teams). Creativity vs innovation. What incentives can do, and what they can’t. Recognising and addressing toxic dynamics without labelling people. Team rituals, rhythm and ceremonies. The 4×3 Systemic Motivation model, and drafting your own mobilisation strategy.
Outcome: each participant leaves with a concrete action plan and a shared language for acting at the system level.
Every participant leaves with their personal motivational profile, the SMTP barometer ready to deploy with their team, and a tailored action plan.
Very inspiring […] ready to implement it.”

What participants say
★★★★★ 4.8/5 on Google Reviews
I have been working with production teams since 1997. For fifteen years, I managed the way I had been taught: through authority and control. It worked ... on the surface.
In 2012, the representative of one of my teams confronted me, head-on, with what my management style was actually producing on the floor. That day, I understood that the problem was not my team’s motivation. It was the system I had built around them.
I spent the next ten years searching for what creates (or destroys) mobilisation at work, testing my observations across seven different companies. That journey produced a model and a book: La Motivation au Cœur de l’Entreprise (2022, in French), as well as this training program. Not another theory: a method born on the production floor, proven by a manager who first had to change himself.
