Course catalog / Base edition / Goal Theory

Goal Theory

The concept of goals is closely linked to the concept of unmet needs. An unmet need is what drives a person to take action. If we have our needs met, we have no motivation to work. It is the desire to meet our needs that pushes us to put forth an effort and do something. As a manager, you should be able to use the goals you set for your team to create a sense of tension that pushes and motivates them to succeed.
