My Motivational Needs represent an internal perspective that governs how I want to be treated, supported, and motivated. They are a principal driver of my behavior, which the people around me see and experience. Theses needs also significantly impact my overall sense of well-being and satisfaction. For me, I prefer • Casual, matter-of-fact relationships • Strong, direct authority • An outlet for your energy • Directive scheduling To access these attributes within an organization, I ask questions such as: • Is direct, straight-forward communication encouraged? • What is the pace of action like within the organization? • Are instructions and expectations concise and clearly communicated? • What is the leadership style of the person to whom I will be reporting?
