The 7 Critical Needs Every Organization Must Meet to Earn Trust and Buy-In
Every employee — from the leadership team to the front line — carries these same seven needs. When you meet them, you unlock discretionary energy. When you neglect them, you invite resistance, disengagement, and turnover.
1. To Belong
I feel safe and included here.
When belonging is missing, people protect themselves. When it’s present, they protect the mission.
2. To Believe
I understand and believe in where we’re going.
Vision and values only matter if people know how to include themselves in them.
3. To Be Accountable
Accountability works best when it’s mutual, not managerial.
Vision and values only matter if people know how to include themselves in them.
4. To be Measured
I know how I’m doing.
People disengage in the absence of clear, fair measurement.
5. To be Heard
My voice matters.
When people stop speaking up, truth disappears — and performance follows.
6. To be Developed
I’m growing and being invested in.
Development isn’t just about promotions — it’s about purpose and progress.
7. To be Balanced
My work and life are aligned in a sustainable rhythm.
Balance sustains performance. Burnout destroys it.
