Replying to LO24658 --
Greetings all,
This post reminded me of the work that Will Schutz has done regarding
interaction with others/needs/wants/potential. He has expanded his
thinking on FIRO theory to explore the fundamental roots in all of us in
his Human Element work. Specifically his inquiry explores:
what are you afraid of?
what makes you feel significant?
what choices do you make to deal with the fear and significant
issues?
Will's book is entitled The Human Element, Productivity, Self-Esteem, and
the Bottom Line, Jossey Bass, 1994.
