The
Eight basic needs
o Belonging/Love
Connection from being with others, or sense with self
o Security/Control
Knowing what will happen, having security in our lives
o Diversity/Change
Wanting a surprise, having variety and adventure
o Recognition/Significance
Having others pay attention to us, feeling important
o Achievement
The need to succeed in our plans, completion
o Challenge/growth
The opportunity to achieve and to grow
o Excellence
Self-satisfaction and pride in the things we do
o Responsibility/Contribution
The need to give to others
The eight human needs are in essence emotional triggers. What we
do and enjoy in life is the result of one or more of these needs
being fulfilled. Any one of these needs can give us a certain amount
of motivation, but the more needs that a particular task fulfills,
the more motivated we are to take action.
In the context of Revolutionary Leadership, (DC) applications of
the colored brain and the eight needs start with the leader’s
awareness and implementation within specific groups of key influencers
within the organization. These create micro-cultures that in turn
replicate to the rest of the organization.
Replication is the essence of revolution and takes place when the
core group has internalized the “Directive Communication™”
concepts and applies them with others to increase their personal
fulfillment at work.
Once this has happened, leaders train the organizations key influencers
(core group) in the US Special Forces “Force Multiplication”
tactics.
This has allowed US A-teams to go into countries ,find those who
are dissatisfied with the current system of government, get them
passionate about a cause, train them in psychological and guerrilla
warfare, and create a revolution from within the country itself.
The corporate revolution follows the same premise to create a more
productive, more fulfilling workplace. From the core group, individuals
create “Colored Brain” A-teams incorporating different
organizational hierarchies (i.e. management, supervisors, front
line, and support). This team will find better solutions to productivity
obstructions and cross relate to most people in the organization.
The team then becomes the strike force that ignites the revolution
from within, they are the force for the good of the organization.
They gain a strong sense of purpose because they are fighting to
fulfill their own needs, not just doing the job. They are armed
with the psychological weapons of progress and their own emotional
levers to give strength and fortitude whenever needed.
With greater awareness and through experiential methods, people
within an organization Change their perceptions of what work really
represents to their lives. A leader catalyzes and replicates this
change.
