People want to use their abilities, connect with others and guide their own efforts. Research has shown that people share these three psychological needs: Competence, Relatedness and Autonomy.
In this seminar leaders learn to create an environment that inspires superior performance by helping employees satisfy these basic needs.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Recognize and leverage three basic needs in the workplace.
2. Create an environment that supports needs satisfaction.
3. Adopt the employees’ perspective to build stronger working relationships.

At Rensselaer, we maintain that “leadership” involves a learnable set of actions and behaviors that is available to everyone. Whether it be leading a particular project or initiative, assisting others in overcoming obstacles and capitalizing on opportunities, or catalyzing co-creation with colleagues, Rensselaer community members model leadership every day. In this workshop, participants will explore the tenants that comprise everyday leadership and discuss the behaviors that define leadership not as positional or based on title, but rather on values and actions.
