Simon Sinek Meets Mr. Maslow
Remembering Abraham Maslow: Most of us studied Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in college. His insight is intended to make us better managers and leaders by recognizing and responding to the evolving needs of our co-workers. If we understand that the lower level needs are prerequisites for moving up the pyramid, it is a leader’s responsibility to assure that unsatisfied lower level needs are not obstacles to higher levels of performance. How many of today’s leader’s have abandoned Maslow’s wisdom in favor of the next managerial shiny new object?
