Community of Practice

There’s no shortage of distractions these days. Uncertainty is growing. Trust is crumbling. Pessimism is on the rise.

In a workplace under these pressures, keep your day-to-day leadership grounded by prioritizing the Basic Human Needs and Dignity Needs. They are a powerful touchstone in turbulence. Research shows that honoring these needs in the workplace is directly correlated to our ability to fully contribute to our organizations.

Lead with stability and moral clarity. Catalyze human potential. Unlock innovation and collaboration. Fuel problem solving.

Join the Community of Practice as we take a deep dive into these foundational needs.

All humans have fundamental needs beyond the physical requirements of survival. When these needs are met, conflict resolves and human potential flourishes. This week we're considering three of these basic human needs:

Love — our need for mutual care, sincere affection, and active goodwill toward each other.

Self-esteem — our need to recognize each other as competent, capable, and worthy.

Personal fulfillment — our need to pursue our potential in all areas of life.

What relationship do you see between these needs? How might meeting one (or more) of these needs help resolve a conflict you're currently facing? Journal your thoughts, and if you're comfortable, we'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Join a cohort of leaders who are learning to embed basic human needs and dignity needs into every aspect of leadership. Registration is now open for the Spring New Paradigm Leadership cohort.
