What does it take to build a strong team?
Start by understanding what drives people.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs isn’t just a theory.
It’s a guidebook for team-building.
Let’s break it down:
1. Set a Foundation of Security
↳ Ensure clear roles and job stability.
↳ Trust and safety are non-negotiable.
2. Build Community
↳ Create real connections.
↳ Regular team-building is essential.
3. Create a Culture of Recognition and Respect
↳ Say “thank you” often. Celebrate wins.
↳ Make appreciation a habit, not a rarity.
4. Support Growth and Development
↳ Invest in training and mentorship.
↳ Support their personal and professional journey.
5. Instill a Sense of Purpose and Creativity
↳ Align team goals with individual passions.
↳ Encourage innovative thinking and passion projects.
