Jan 29 - The Greatest Need
The Greatest Need
January 29, 2008
"The French medieval philosopher Nicole said that the greatest need of all human beings is to be understood, the second is to understand. Leaders are prone to understand others well. They try to understand the character of the people who work for them. They look for the emotional triggers that will motivate a person to great performance. They do so from a certain distance." Smith, 2007, p.134)
