How can a leader identify growth needs in his or her followers?
What will be an ideal response?
(Answers will vary.) Growth need strength refers to a person’s need to learn new
things, grow, and develop from working. People vary in this need; some people have a
high desire to grow as a result of their work and others do not. This need also affects
performance. In other words, if a person’s job is interesting, he or she may not have
higher motivation and performance if he or she doesn’t really need to grow from the
work. Employees who prefer challenging work experience have less stress after their
work was redesigned. Leaders can identify growth needs by talking with employees,
observing performance, and monitoring motivation swings.
