What will probably happen in the experience of people, if they cannot allow and seek any or hardly any uniqueness? Maybe these words will give a picture of the effect: wither, fade, dry out, die away, evaporate. Without resonance for uniqueness, self-esteem receives no nourishment. In this way, according to psychological jargon, depressive moods, a …
Uniqueness is relevant for leadership in many respects. Firstly, it is because leaders often require this need in order to do their job, particularly when it revolves around innovation, creativity, self-assertion, exposure or believing in something. It is also necessary in order to motivate others, to inspire them, give them the feeling that it is …
Those who lead, have a prominent position. It suggests that the uniqueness need is fulfilled – or is it? Yes, it is, but in the context of leadership those that are being led also have an input. And they, in turn, all have their own experiences with leadership, from childhood onwards. Not all of these …
Konstruktive wie destruktive Dynamiken in Paarbeziehungen lassen sich mit Hilfe des metatheoretischen Bedürfnismodells recht eingängig reflektieren. Es liegt nahe, dass fehlende Kompetenzen in der Regulation von einem oder mehreren Bedürfnissen sich sofort auf die Beziehungsmuster auswirken, die sich zwischen Paaren entwickeln. Nicht nur Menschen organisieren sich durch Muster und reduzieren Komplexität, sondern auch Paarbeziehungen! Fehlende …
“Love is a child of freedom.” (L. M. Moeller). Some couples end their relationship and following this, they both say “Now, at last, I can do what I want!”. The (fatal) tendency of limiting unnecessarily one’s own freedom or that of the partner, is one of the reasons why a power struggle is ignited about …
“My partner is the backbone of my life!”. Such sentiments express the importance of the security needs in couple relationships and, for many, they are a cause for loving thankfulness. Feeling mutually responsible, when the other needs it, is seen by most people as a reason for cultivating a long-term relationship. Conversely, it is important …
If people are frustrated in the satisfying of their security need, this will, probably, affect their actions in this way: recklessness, hardly any provisions with regard to the future, careless behaviour during impending danger, ignoring the warnings of others, devaluing those with reservations, carrying out projects without ensuring the viability and financing of them, letting …
What probably happens in the experiencing of people if they don’t permit and seek any, or hardly any, security? Initially, such people experience themselves as internally rather care-free, thus, they are often in a state that fascinates others. They don’t have too many concerns, they experience the moment and live for the present. Sometimes they …
No leader knows the future. Everyone, however, has expectations that they will act in a way that achieves the set goals, that promises made will be kept and that the predicted effects will occur. How then can anyone feel secure? Leadership, therefore, is, to a very great extent, acting with insecurity. The ability to process …
Being able to make plans freely seems to be one of the privileges of leadership. Nevertheless, particularly here, a stress factor is hidden which is not to be underestimated. This is because every leader is bound into a structural and unavoidable conflict of interest: he is the representative of team interests in the organisation and …
