      This is the basis for McClelland's Acquired Needs.   He only focused on three where should learn more about:

      • The need for power,
      • The need for affiliation, and
      • The need for achievement.

      These are powerful enough that they will drive your choice of careers and ultimately influence the degree of success you have in the world. But we see people using their jobs as a means of satisfying these needs in the world to work. Discover more about these three very important needs in video one. 

      Video 1: Three Critically Important Needs You Need to Understand (Time 12:15) 


      The remaining three videos will tell you more about each of these needs -- needs that you see operating in the real world.

      Video 2: Need ForAffiliation  (Understanding The Nature of Affiliation) (Time: 5:50)

      To the chagrin of the economists and the ire of the CFOs, people don't exist just to pump out as much work that they can to satisfy the greed of the stockholders. They also use work to satisfy social needs—their need for affiliation.

      Of course, some are low on the affiliation scale and they like nothing better than to be left alone. This is sometimes referred to as having a high need for autonomy. However,  those who are high on affiliation needs will choose jobs and careers but have lots of people around.

      People charge them up. People get them motivated. It's all about having friends.

      Need for affiliation is one of the most important of all the needs we possess. There is no more psychologically damaging punishment than to isolate someone from others. It’s important to understand this need since it drives choice of careers and whether you are happy doing what you are doing.

      Video 3: The Need For Power (All About Power: Why You and Others Find is so Seductive) (Time: 33.40)

      What is it about power? Those that have it want more. And those who don't have it, want it. Having power makes many people feel good. And so they spend their life continually seeking more of it.

      You might call power seductive, you might call this need self-reinforcing;  you might hate it, or you my love it but you can never ignore it. Some people believe that to really understand bureaucratic organizations, you must discover how those higher up in the dominance hierarchy exercise power.

      Honestly, most people have a distaste, a revolution toward power. Until that is, you get some. They one finds out that you really like it. Not just like it, but really want more. Power is not inherently bad, it is not essentially good, it all depends on how you choose to exercise it.

      Video 4: The Need For Achievement (Time: 36:50)

      It has long been known that one of the most important learned needs you can develop is achievement motivation. Not only is it associated with success as an entrepreneur, it is also a major component of emotional intelligence

      Achievers drive themselves to greater levels of accomplishment. Find out more about what it is and discover six techniques that you can use to influence his development for the thought, the prior to the development of money there is the drive to achieve. This presentation covers foundation techniques to increase this type of motivational force.

      This consists of a series of four videos that: discuss the nature of wisdom, tell you where it may be found and where it is not, and presents key mental abilities needed to become wise.

      Video 1: Overview (11 minutes) 

      Video 2: Where It is Not Normally Found(so you won't waste your time) (9 minutes)

      Video 3: Classic Methods of Learning Wisdom (19 minutes)

      Video 4: The Mental Processes Associated with Its Development (26 minutes)

      Video 1: Developing Wisdom (Overview)


      Time: 11:11

      It pretty clear--powerful and rich are rarely wise. Sadly, those who have power and money typically do not use either of these wisely. And you boss is not much better. But if you take the time to develop this scare mental ability, your stock in the world to the people you care about than owning big time shares in a large corporation.

      These video covers:

      Different illustrations and stories on how wisdom works in the practical world

      Different definitions (after all, this is not accounting)

      The most likely source of this sought after mental ability (you can't blame mom and dad for not having it)

      Resource Video 2: Where You Can't Find It


      Time: 9:39

      Let's face it, many people who desire it, and spend their time looking for it in all the wrong places. Don't laugh, it happens.  A lot. For example, do you think it can be  found in:

      • Those with a high IQ,
      • Those with many degrees,
      • The talking heads on radio and television,
      • Books in the  library,
      • Centers of learning such as the the university,
      • Therapists,
      • Religious leaders,
      • CEO's, and
      • Political leaders.

      In some respects, wisdom is like happiness; a large number chase it for their entire lives but it continually eludes them. Indeed, if they have found wisdom, they would know how to be happy.

      Video 3: Learning Wisdom: Three Classic Methods


      Time: 19:15

      Learn a method based on the writings  of one of the world's greatest sages -- Confucius.

      Experience. Sad to say, the common man rarely learns from experience. Big mistake. You should laugh at someone who says experience by itself is valuable. Experience teaches us little without reflection. Do not be like the masses who like to say they have, "Twenty years of experience (meaning one year of learning followed by 19 years of mindlessness repetition). "

      Reflection. A key learning method missing from Western universities. Not practicing reflection is a big reason you don't learn from experience.

      Imitation.  Modeling is one of the three essential learning methods in the behavioral school of psychology. It is a much better method of learning than experience for a number of reasons.

      You will also find  four other individuals who have wise words for us along with two application exercises.

      Resource Video 4: Mental Processes Associated With Wisdom


      Time: 26:26

      This video focuses on the mental processes you will never learn about in a university classes. It's why wisdom something that won't be developed by writing a paper on it. They include:

      Intuition. Actually, there are two types. Believe it or not, we often decide based on feelings and then justify based on logic.

      Insight. It's not what they are saying, it's what they aren't saying that is important. It's what you don't know is important. After all, it's the missing pieces that are the most important to find.

      Foresight.  It's not whether you can solve the crisis, it's whether you can prevent the crisis from occurring in the first place.  A huge number of people lack this. Powerful people like heads of state can't see much beyond tomorrow.

      Dream Interpretation. Most psychologist believe dreams are messages from the unconscious. You know, that part of the mind that we typically blow off every day since most say, "I don't remember my dreams." In many cultures, those who interpret dreams are considered wise.

      Understanding of Myths. These type of myths contain hidden truths that are embedded in the story. Some of these myths are timeless--the get retold to each generation. This are important stories indeed. We will discuss the implications of the mythic story of Narcissus.

      Ability to Tell Great Stories. People love stories much more than they like facts and stats. The ability to construct teaching stories on the fly is a great on. Not only as a means of teaching, but as a method for changing someone without them becoming defensive.
