Staff motivators using Maslow as a basis
On [#stanier-effective-manager], 5th chapter
According to [#stanier-effective-manager], motivation can be coded using Maslow's hierarchy of needs. From the bottom to the top:
- Physicological: being paid fairly
- Safety: job and psychological safety
- Love/belonging: you want to work with people you like and admire. You also want to maintain good relationships with those people
- Esteem: formal and informal recognition
- Self-actualization: challenge and growth
It might be worthwhile reflecting on what those items mean to yourself and to your team. How can you ensure that those needs are met?
