It is how we experience the strength of the 16 life motives compared to how others team members experience then that is most important in understanding how we relate to other people and how they relate to us.

The best way to understand people is in terms of their life purposes, goals, and values. This also is the best way to predict how people will behave at work, home, school, or on the athletic field...If you want to understand a person’s behavior, you need to determine what the person is trying to accomplish and what the person values. Not what you value, but what the person you are trying to understand values. We have created a powerful method, called the Reiss Motivation Profile®, of determining an individual’s purposes and values.” Professor Steven Reiss, PhD [![Rehberi İndirin](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1743462/7446f276-def9-40a6-b1c5-a4d3358d7332.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1743462/7446f276-def9-40a6-b1c5-a4d3358d7332) ![Who am I?
