Who Created Maslow's Iconic Pyramid? A new paper investigates the real origins of Maslow's pyramid.
Abraham Maslow's iconic pyramid of needs is one of the most famous images in the history of management studies. At the base of the pyramid are physiological needs, and at the top is self-actualization, the full realization of one's unique potential. Along the way are the needs for safety, belonging, love, and esteem.
However, many people may not realize that during the last few years of his life Maslow believed self-transcendence, not self-actualization, was the pinnacle of human needs. What's more, it's difficult to find any evidence that he ever actually represented his theory as a pyramid. On the contrary, it's clear from his writings that he did not view his hierarchy of needs like a video game-- as though you reach one level and then unlock the next level, never again returning to the "lower" levels.

Top StoryEditor's Note: Early last summer, Chinese and Indian troops clashed in a surprise border battle in the remote Galwan Valley, bashing each other to death with rocks and clubs. Four months later and more than 1,500 miles away in Mumbai, India, trains shut down and the stock market closed as the power went out in a city of 20 million people. Now, a new study lends weight to the idea that those two events may well have been connected - as part of a broad Chinese cybercampaign against India's power grid, timed to send a message that if India pressed its claims too hard, the lights could go out across the country.Top StoryEditor's Note: Heading the hitlist is Google's parent company Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, whose $281 million compensation put him on top of the "100 Most Overpaid CEOs" study released by the nonprofit group As You Sow on Thursday. Also on the list, which includes executives from Discovery, Walt Disney, Intel, and General Electric, is Microsoft's Satya Nadella, who ranks #24 with compensation of $42 million.Top StoryEditor's Note: Omer Ismail, the head of Goldman's consumer bank, is making a surprise exit to the fintech, according to people with knowledge of the matter.Digital |
