I need a SENSE OF BELONGING...a feeling that I am needed for my total self, not just for my hands, nor because I take orders well and carry them out exactly as prescribed.

I need to have a SENSE OF SHARING in planning our objectives. My need will be satisfied only when I feel that my ideas have had a fair hearing.

I need to feel that the GOALS AND OBJECTIVES arrived at are within reach and that they make sense to ME.

I need to feel that what I am doing has real purpose; that my being in the organization MAKES A DIFFERENCE to someone; that the value of my contribution extends beyond my personal gain--or yours.

I need to share in making the GROUND RULES by which together we shall work toward our goals.

I need to know in some clear detail just WHAT IS EXPECTED of me, not only of my detailed job, but where I have opportunity to make personal decisions.

I need to have CHALLENGING RESPONSIBILITIES that are within the range of my personal abilities and interests and that contribute toward reaching my assigned goal and the goals of the organization.

I need to SEE PROGRESS toward the goal we have set.

I need to be kept INFORMED. What I am not up on, I may be down on.

I need to have CONFIDENCE IN MY SUPERIORS--based upon assurance of CONSISTENT, FAIR TREATMENT, of RECOGNITION when it is due and TRUST that loyalty will bring increased security.

Remember and understand that my values my be different that yours. What makes sense to you may not make sense to me.
