Discover the six drivers and how they influence your thinking and collaboration. Learn how unique combinations explain behavior.
Six drivers. Six different perspectives.
Six drivers. One common language.
Everyone looks through a different lens
Two people can experience the same situation and yet see something completely different. One immediately thinks about the impact on colleagues. Another wants to first understand how something works. Yet another primarily sees opportunities or seeks clarity and structure.
No one is inherently right or wrong. Everyone assigns meaning to what they see, experience, and find important based on their own unique combination of motivations. These different perspectives sometimes make collaboration challenging, and at the same time, valuable.
Within the Management Drives methodology, six drives are distinguished. Each drive represents a different way of looking at the world and brings its own qualities, preferences, and points of attention.
Seeks knowledge, analysis, and new insights. Wants to see connections, understand complex issues, and look to the future with vision.

than another
Everyone possesses all six drivers to a greater or lesser extent. Only the combination and the mutual relationship differ. It is precisely that unique mix that determines what motivates someone, where someone's attention is directed, how decisions are made, and how someone collaborates with others. Therefore, there is no ideal profile. The strength lies in recognizing and utilizing differences.
Your basic drivers remain relatively stable, but the way you use them changes. A manager uses their drivers differently than a project leader. The phase in which a team or organization finds itself sometimes requires a different emphasis. Drivers therefore not only explain behavior but also help understand why people react differently in various situations.
Hoe zes drijfveren jouw
profiel vormen
Iedereen beschikt over dezelfde zes drijfveren, maar hoe deze drijfveren zich onderling verhouden is altijd uniek. Juist die combinatie maakt zichtbaar wat jou motiveert en hoe dat terugkomt in gedrag, communicatie en samenwerking.

Deze zes drijfveren vormen een gemeenschappelijke taal voor individuen, teams en organisaties.
Why scientific evidence is important
People make decisions every day about development, collaboration, and leadership. The insights on which those choices are based must be reliable.
Therefore, a methodology needs more than recognizable profiles or practical applications. The underlying theory must align with scientific knowledge about human behavior, and the outcomes must demonstrably correspond with reality. It is precisely this combination that makes a methodology valuable for organizations.
