Need-Emotion – A Complex system

Need-Emotion – A Complex system The below article is an extract from my book ‘being Emotionally street-smart’. It gets a little technical and would need background in theoretical understanding of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Emotions Out of all the experiences we carry, our journey with Emotions is the oldest. Emotions have been with us since birth and we all have our understanding and Individual theory about what they are, how they work, how to make the best of them, etc. The simple way Emotions can be defined is representation of satisfied or unsatisfied Needs (Maslow chacha ki theory for Needs) .

What makes people do what they do. What drives people. While aiming at better outcome we are talking about driving Change in the way things work.

We identify the target followed by what is ‘Ideally’ needed to achieve the target and then finally evaluate what we have and what’s missing as compared to ‘Ideal’ list.

That is how we manage business, manage processes, manag...
