"The leaders who thrive... Their real objective in their leadership, whether they’re conscious of it or not, is to provide all the necessary resources for their teams to reach what Abraham Maslow in 1943, referred to as “self-actualization.” Introduced in his paper, “Theory of Self-Actualization and the Hierarchy of Needs,” the pyramid we’ve come to call “Maslow’s Hierarchy” became the gold standard for everything from self-help manuals to positive psychology researchers and experts. Maslow’s work made it obvious that at its core, human nature is universal. We’re quite literally “born that way.” His theory of self-actualization was based on the premise that it is the nature of humans to also have universal needs. And that is true in team dynamics as well. Humans have universal needs to “maximize the use of their abilities and resources” when asked to function as part of a group, just as they do when reaching self-actualization as an individual."
