In-company leadership training — extended format
Systemic Motivation at Work™
A 6-module programme for managers who want their team's mobilisation to survive contact with the real world.
Your managers came back from training with a clear action plan. Six weeks later, the plan is in a drawer, and the team is back to its old habits.
A programme built for one full quarter, designed to turn a plan into a habit, not just an insight.
This programme is for you if…
- Your managers have already sat through leadership or motivation training, and within weeks, nothing has changed on the ground.
- A single insight isn't enough any more: you want a change that still holds in six months.
- You manage several teams and want your managers solving their real situations together, not case studies.
- You're ready to invest a full quarter, if it means a change that actually lasts.
Why training alone doesn't hold
Most leadership training stops exactly where it would start to matter: when the manager goes back to a team that never sat in the training room. Without a structured follow-up, even the strongest action plan erodes within three weeks.
The content was never the problem. The absence of anything after it was.
The cost of doing nothing
A manager trained once, then left alone, is back at square one within a quarter. You then pay for another training to repeat the same diagnosis, with the same team.
This programme costs less than repeating the same starting line twice.

THE PROGRAMME
Two phases, one progression
From reading the system to making it stick long after the room empties.
PHASE 1 — WEEKS 1 TO 3 · THE FOUNDATIONS
STEP 1
Read the system
“Why has my team stopped responding?”
The 4 families of motivators. The Engage Yourself® serious game. The 3 levels of mobilisation: Compliance → Commitment → Mission.
Outcome: managers stop guessing and start reading the system.
STEP 2
Measure and anticipate
“How do I detect disengagement before the resignation letter?”
The SMTP barometer. The 3 individual drivers: autonomy, competence, self-confidence. Psychological safety and feedback practices.
Outcome: diagnostic tools to spot risks before they become departures.
STEP 3
Act sustainably
“How do I re-mobilise the team without rebuilding everything?”
Collaboration vs cooperation. The 4×3 Systemic Motivation model, and drafting a first mobilisation strategy.
Outcome: a concrete action plan and a shared language.
PHASE 2 — WEEKS 4 TO 13 · GUIDED PRACTICE ON REAL CASES
Contrary to modules 1 to 3, these three sessions move from theory to practice. Each one works through real situations from the field, guided step by step through the Systemic Motivation lens, not a generic exchange between peers, but hands-on input from someone who has spent a decade in this terrain.
STEP 4
What resisted
“What actually got in the way of my plan?”
A guided practice session built on a real case. Each manager brings a situation from applying their plan; we work through it together, using the Systemic Motivation model to find what needs adjusting.
Outcome: every action plan is corrected against reality, not theory.
STEP 5
Does it hold beyond my team?
“How do I know this is actually working, past my own team?”
A second guided session, built around a fresh reading of the SMTP barometer after several weeks in the field. We open the lens to the inter-team level: recognising and addressing toxic dynamics that go beyond a single team, cooperation between managers.
Outcome: a reading that reaches past a single team.
STEP 6
Installing it for good
“How do I make this last?”
The third and final guided session: each manager formalises a sustainable mobilisation strategy for their own scope, worked through with direct input from the method. In the last hour, the group sets up its own peer-coaching circle — a way to keep helping each other, without you, once the programme ends.
Outcome: a practice that continues to run at no extra cost to the company.
Every participant leaves with their personal motivational profile, the SMTP barometer tested over a full quarter,
an action plan corrected by real feedback from the field, and a peer-coaching group able to keep helping itself.
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 programme. Not another theory: a method born on the production floor, proven by a manager who first had to change himself.
Who is behind this programme?
La Motivation au Cœur de l’Entreprise (2022, in French)
The book behind the method — the model, the field stories, the tools.
