Six Basic Needs Of Every Employee * I want to achieve. I cannot read your mind, so communicate clear and
achievable goals so I can succeed. Do not be a barrier to getting things done by being a decision-making bottleneck. After all, I am getting them done for you.
* I want to master my work, so coach me often to help me get closer to doing so. I will take the good feedback with the bad, but I need all of it to improve.
* I need autonomy to do my work the best way I know how, so give me some space. I know you have done my job before, but let me use your experience and my fresh perspective to create even better ways to get things done.
* I need a sense of purpose. I want to work for a compelling cause, so help me see the connection between my daily work and how it makes a difference.
* I need to feel connected. I want our team to be special, and special teams start with special relationships. I don't really care how much you know until I know how much you care.
* I crave appreciation. I do more for those who appreciate me, so pour it on! I know I make plenty of mistakes and we discuss those, but also try to catch me doing something right and let me know.
