As Peter Drucker (1909-2005) wrote in one of his last books "Management Challenges for the 21st. Century": “There is one right way to manage people—or at least there should be.” This assumption underlies practically every book or paper on the management of people. Its most quoted exposition is Douglas McGregor’s book The Human Side of Enterprise (1960), which asserted that managements have to choose between two and only two different ways of managing people, “Theory X” and “Theory Y,” and which then asserted that Theory Y is the only sound one. (A little earlier I had said pretty much the same thing in my 1954 book The Practice of Management.) A few years later Abraham H. Maslow (1908–1970) showed in his Eupsychian Management (1962; new edition 1995 entitled Maslow on Management) that both McGregor and I were dead wrong👎🏻. He showed conclusively that different people have to be managed differently. 🧞♀️ I became an immediate convert—Maslow’s evidence is overwhelming. But to date very few people have paid much attention." What a tribute 🎯✔️

Creating a great company culture isn't rocket science. It starts by knowing what your people need. It’s not bean bags, free beer, or a subscription to a meditation app. It is your daily actions and values that define your culture. Here is the ultimate sheet to build an indestructible company culture Applying Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and 9 fundamentals. Think about it in terms of your company: Basic Needs: Do your people have the essentials? Safety: Do they feel secure, trusted, and respected? Belonging: Can everyone be their true selves at work? Esteem: Do you recognise and appreciate their efforts? Self-actualisation: And give them chances to progress? When these needs are met, your company isn't just a place to work… It's a place where people thrive. Because building a great culture doesn't just happen. It takes consistent effort and action. Every day. Now go make it happen. Repost this to share it with your network ♻️ Follow Chris Donnelly and spread this important message Agree? Disagree?
