Why managing motives is key to creating psychological safety
The most effective leaders play a large role in creating an environment that is both engaging and enabling to teams and the broader organisation. To do this, we need to demonstrate self-awareness upfront. If we do not know ourselves well enough, we will struggle to enable and develop the talent around us effectively.
Creating an optimal environment for ourselves, our team and our business is also about ensuring that psychological safety is in place. Not only should we feel like we can speak up without the fear of recourse and support one another, but also instil and maintain trust to ensure the environment lends itself to everyone being able to optimise their own performance and bring their authentic self to work. A key component to this self-awareness is understanding our social motives.
The Three Social Motives
Renowned American psychologist, David McClelland’s, three social motives remain relevant in this context. For those unfamiliar with his work on defining the three social motives, you can think of these motives as “muscles” that we all have to a greater or lesser extent; that have taken shape through our formative years. They are hardwired and they provide us with the tools to manage ourselves more effectively and predict performance in others by getting the best out of ourselves and the people around us. There is no “good or bad” but rather a need to be aware of how strong one “muscle” is relative to the other. These “muscles” are recurrent concerns (not once off) that we may have, and they need to be “fed and exercised” otherwise they may have the potential to frustrate and derail us.
