Growth Needs
When these needs are fulfilled they do not go
away, they engender deeper levels of motivation
and commitment.
Deficiency Needs
An individual gains no sense of
lasting satisfaction from being
able to meet these needs, but
feels a sense of anxiety if these
needs are not met.

Happiness
YOU FEEL HAPPY when you are able
to meet your basic needs (deficiency
needs), but you feel anxious or fearful
when you are prevented from meeting
these needs or when the satisfaction of
these needs is under threat—when you
lose a job, when you lose a friend or a
close companion or when you feel
people do not respect you.
Happiness is the feeling you get when you achieve internal stability and
external equilibrium at the ego level of existence—when you are able to satisfy
your basic (deficiency) needs.
22. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.

Meaning
THE ABILITY TO MEET your growth needs
engenders a deeper feeling than
happiness, and consequently a deeper level of
motivation and commitment to the satisfaction
of these needs. You experience joy and
contentment when you are able to satisfy your
growth needs because you are experiencing a
deeper sense of alignment with who you truly
are.
You are discovering your authentic (soul) self
and finding meaning and purpose for your life.
Joy and contentment are the feelings you get when you
are able to satisfy your growth needs.

Limiting Values
Definition
How do WE define this value?
Culture
How does it look like/appear
in our daily work situations?
Preventive actions
What actions can we* take to take out this limiting value?
*) ME personally, WE as a group and the COMPANY/Management?
Caution
No risk taking
No stretch
Both a personal- and a
team behavior
Lean organizational set
up – not overspending
regarding resources
Not stating how good we
are or someone is – low
profile.
If we are not 100% sure, we
would not do it.
Too self critical, which
hinders you from taking
action.
Afraid of making mistakes.
Avoid conflicts.
Don’t dare to say what you
see and think or feel.
We don’t always share the
problems, so I don’t bring
my problems to the team
and vs.
If I bring up my problem I
have to follow it up, so I
don’t bring up.
Slow in taking action on
decisions taken.
We don’t stretch our
budgets – we want to make
sure we can reach our
targets.
(ME) Bring your problems to the team and use
the team to solve them, and follow it up. Bring
your possibilities and opportunities to the team as
well.
(COMPANY) Our defined responsibilities is to too
individual and not shared within the team. We
need to define our shared team responsibilities
by clear targets. Not only as a target as a sum of
all sites.
(ME/WE) Every member of the team should feel
responsible for the problem that are brought to
the team.
(WE) Make our team profile more clear to our
stakeholders.
(ME) Be more challenging (in our team and
outside the team?)
(ME) Talk and share what we are good at more
(proven by benchmarks) and be proud of it!!
(ME/COMPANY) Be prepared to take risks. Bring
up specific situations regarding potential risks in
the RMT.

59. The 5 Components of the Blueprint of WE
1. The Story of Us
Each person writes what draws them to the relationship and to the situation. It quiets
the Safety Brain by laying down positive neural pathways that you can access later.
.
2. Interaction Styles and Warning Signs
Interaction Styles describe who I am and how I work best. Warning Signs are what I look
like when I start to get stressed and what I might need in the moment that I couldn’t
possibly ask for. Exchanging this information builds the upward spiral of the Awareness-
Learning Cycle.
.
3. Expectations
Core values and non-negotiables, the structure you need to create and sustain this
relationship. This is where you mindfully custom design what you want to do and be
together. It can include the agreements that traditional contracts cover in terms of
what’s to be done or intentioned.
.
4. Questions to Return to Peace
This is your “What to Do in Case of Fire” Manual. Each person accesses their most
emotionally intelligent self, ahead of time, and writes questions, statements and
reminders that will create the bridge back to peace when needed.
.
5. Short and Long-Term Agreements
All parties agree to an amount of time they are willing to go before they address the
“pebble in their shoe” and use the Blueprint to get back to a good place. It’s also an
agreement to no outright harm if the unimaginable happens.
