All human beings have these five longings: *
Love- to find and give a combination of the "5 A's": attention, acceptance, appreciation, affection, and allowing.
Meaning- a sense of purpose, some sense that our life has a goal.
Freedom- certitude that we have power and agency in the world.
Happiness- and enduring sense of safety and security in life and relationships.
Growth- to go beyond what we have and are, to develop, evolve, to strive for more.
Ironically, we already have them inside, but most of us still seek them throughout our lives. Helping people find ways to recognize and fulfill these makes us more effective in all we do.
How do you meet these needs for yourself and others? How does this show up in your corporate culture and leadership style?
-From the excellent book The Five Longings, by David Richo
